Guiding Principles For Working Together

• We work together towards shared goals: We believe in constructive contribution and working alongside others to achieve success together.

​

• We’re on an never ending journey of growth & improvement: We value growing as individuals, as a cooperative, and as a broader community. We respectfully challenge each other and our assumption, constantly searching for new areas to grow, whatever “grow” might mean. We recognize our current plan can always be improved and that the world is dynamic and constantly changes - thus we collectively need to adapt and change too.

​

• We foster a sense of belonging: Contributors feel like they are part of something they are proud/passionate about. We’re all humans and have all chosen to share our lives together

​

• We foster a sense of safety: Contributors feel they can communicate openly w/o judgment and/or personal remarks. We are respectful of differing opinions, viewpoints, and experiences�
• We interact with empathy: We demonstrate empathy and kindness toward other people. We listen to all parties to really understand where they are coming from, their needs, their concerns, and fears. Through building common understanding, we are able to come up with solutions that address all concerns and work towards a shared goal
