WHAT WE Believe

Real change engages all of our systems.

Transformational change requires the full engagement of all our systems; external and internal, communal and individual.

Liberation is possible.

A bright future in which institutional systems and culture promote our collective freedom from oppression is possible, if we design for it.

Leadership is a collective endeavor.

We need one another to repair ourselves and our world. Only when we acknowledge and collaborate across difference can we manifest a more inclusive, creative and just future.

Self-awareness is foundational.

Our ability to lead with empathy, vulnerability and curiosity creates the conditions for insight, connection and, ultimately, change.

Meaningful work is joyful work.

Infusing joy in all that we do is an essential liberatory practice. And without laughter and connection, this work is not sustainable.
