OUR STORY

OUR VALUES ARE WITTY!


WISDOM


We are self-aware people that ask great questions so we can grow in wisdom and bypass blind spots by cultivating health both personally and professionally…then boldly sharing it with others. We know when to speak and when to listen, when to push and when to give grace. We apply EQ skills to every endeavor with wisdom.


“I” OWN IT! 


Thoughts, words, and actions must be in complete alignment. Communication is excellent. We know what is happening and keep appropriate people in the loop. Deadlines are met and we follow through as promised. We renegotiate time frames if we are going to miss them and we rarely miss them. We do the right thing no matter what. We are transparent, vulnerable and authentic from the inside out.


TRUTH-TELLING


We tell the truth even when it hurts. We speak even what others will not and we do so with compassion, kindness, love and utter respect. When we tell the truth we do so with humble-confidence that our observations are simply the way we see it and are very open to having our story changed. We do not believe we are always right, we do believe we are going to ask provocative questions and we are always going to tell the truth.


TOTALLY FUN


Light-hearted, great sense of humor, fun to be around, take ourselves lightly and our work seriously. We model a playful spirit and light hearts as we do our very serious work.


YOU-CENTERED

It is not about us, it is about YOU. We are an organization of servant leaders. We search for ways to be a blessing to our clients, community, colleagues, and co-workers. We look for the greater good and we submit our own agenda to it. We love people and we serve people as we lead them to greatness.
