Curiosity
Because the stories we tell often point to the deeper wisdom we have and need to go forward.
Courage
Because we are committed to audacious goals that serve a purpose bigger than ourselves.
Integrity
Because what we do is the ultimate proof of what we say and believe as wholehearted leaders.
Growth
Because our work is truly life-changing—both what happens in us and through us.
Humility
Because privilege and inequality have contributed to many of the problems we now seek to solve.
Strategy
Because work that is worth doing is worth doing well to get results.
