These are the ten beliefs that guide us in our partnerships and in our lives.
We challenge each other to understand what is true about ourselves, our teams, and our performance. Leaving judgment behind and setting aside blame or fault, we search for what is true. Getting to our collective and individual truth is a form of compassion when rooted in a commitment to improvement and evolution.
This begins with the utmost respect we have for each other and our partners, what makes us unique, and the values and beliefs that guide us. To ensure respect is the anchor of our coaching, we create spaces for our partners that foster vulnerability, authenticity, and confidentiality.
Because our work needs to be a genuine extension of our life, we only pursue what is meaningful to us and will continue our search if we haven’t yet found it.
We’re dedicated to keeping our beliefs, words, and actions totally aligned, and being held accountable when we don’t.
Constant and candid feedback from our partners better enables us to meet them.
We help our partners overcome the inertia that prevents them from expanding their self-awareness, understanding how they are reacting to their current context, and making the incremental, compounded improvements necessary to achieve ambitious goals.
Undesirable outcomes reveal gaps that need to be closed. We help our partners analyze these gaps honestly and objectively to propel their growth as leaders.
We stay humble and open so we can understand people’s beliefs, perspectives, counter-points, and experiences—and expect the same from our partners.
We stay in lockstep with our partners on their leadership journeys and view our progress and results as synonymous with theirs.
Once we unlock it, we push the frontier forward and continue the pursuit.
