WHAT WE NEED FROM EVERYONE: Live our values & do the brave thing.
Our Values:
Good Enough is Not Enough. Grab an Oar. Be More Human. Play Like a Pirate.
Doing the brave thing is about courage. It’s about never being a spectator. Speaking up with clarity and conviction and kindness. Not hedging our points-of-view with clients or each other. Saying what we think when it’s in the best interest of the idea or the people, even if it’s uncomfortable. Being willing to take smart risks. Making tough decisions without agonizing. And, being transparent and vulnerable in search of the best. This is the expectation for all of us. In turn, we commit to perpetuating a culture where bravery is rewarded, and support is always within reach.
