Be Accountable - Even when no one is watching. Be honest. #GetShitDone. Learn from your mistakes. Teach others. Move on.
Be Authentic - Be honest. Respect others. Be selfish to create the best version of you - be it morning routines, exercise, family time, or pushing your limits.
Be Curious - Be unafraid of mistakes. Have a growth mindset. Embrace change. Don’t be afraid to fail. Choose courage over fear. Embrace “Yes, and …”
Be Part of the Team - Lead. Empower others. Learn to co-elevate. Promote a fun work environment. Work as a team towards our mission. Praise in public. Provide feedback in private.
Be Relationship Driven - Take the time to connect with our customers, entrepreneurs, members, sponsors, partners and other key stakeholders.
Be Grateful - Thank your fellow teammates frequently. Be humble. Embrace diversity. Treat a janitor the same way you would a CEO.
