Whether as a contractor, full-time, part-time, or something else altogether, members of this team are a passionate and curious bunch.
We enjoy collaborating, revel in being exceptional at what we do, are obsessed with our goal to serve our members by being world-class business partners, and really like to have fun.
We’re spread across the globe and have a beautiful range of experiences and perspectives. This creates an amazingly creative and innovative environment that makes us better than the sum of our parts.
This concept is articulated beautifully by Frans Johansson in his book, Medici Effect. We share three core beliefs and three mindsets.
Neither a meaningful life nor a profitable business should be a zero-sum endeavor.
People matter. Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging matter.
Everything is figureoutable.
Leadership: a blend of compassion, vulnerability, and trust.
Abundance: rooted in gratitude, inclusion, and generosity.
Growth: steeped in curiosity, engagement, and becoming.
We lean in on giving and earning trust among ourselves and in our relationships with our members and partners.
Trust can be difficult to articulate, so we rely on the incredible work of Frances Frei and Anne Morriss as a framework. We use their Trust Triangle as a shared language when we encounter the inevitable challenges humans sometimes have with one another.
The points are logic, empathy, and authenticity. It’s an incredibly effective, simple, and powerful model. (How to Build (and Rebuild) Trust - Frances Frei Ted Talk and Begin with Trust - Frances X. Frei and Anne Morriss, Harvard Business Review).
We’re very curious and we know we don’t know everything about everything.
