Success is the progressive realization of a worthy goal or ideal. -Earl Nightingale
Our Values
Empathy — We notice and honor each leader in our Academy for who they are by caring enough to understand/feel experiences from their frame of reference.
Coaching — We commit to forward movement by asking thoughtful and challenging questions that accelerate the leadership development journey.
Consistency — We connect on a regular schedule to support relationship growth through ongoing dialogue, shared learning, and continual affirmation of each others' dreams and goals.
Inclusiveness — We honor and respect differences, and leverage dissent to grow wisdom. We welcome all leaders who strengthen our diverse community, regardless of race, gender, religion, ethnicity, country of origin, sexual orientation, or physical ability.
Confidentiality — We agree to keep discussions between Academy members confidential to support open and honest relationship building.
