values
-
Empowerment is when intrapersonal strengths are aligned with interpersonal resources to help each of us to thrive.
Intrapersonal strengths are realized and acted on through social-emotional learning skills, such as self-awareness and self-management.
Interpersonal resources include our team, our mentors, our knowledge, and the tools needed for success and well-being.
-
Each of our decisions is guided by
Reflection: asking and answering questions to understand each situation's factors and context fully.
Action: we create and track SMART goals to progress towards our vision.
-
Feeling connected to ourselves and those around us is critical for our success and wellness. We work to cultivate the relationships between our team, mentors, mentees, advisors, and stakeholders—ensuring each of us in the network is valued and supported.
-
We each know what it’s like to feel incapable, feel that we are unworthy or not good enough, and feel overwhelmed.
From the intentionality of our words in our small interactions to our big picture vision, we work to foster each individual’s confidence and growth.
