Healthy Systems
- Assume the best: Everybody is doing the best they can with what they have and what they know.
- Focus on the vision: The best way forward moves us toward what we want, not away from what we fear.
- Enable autonomy: A challenge is best solved by the person or group most affected.
- Pursue collective truth: The truth lies in the combined perspective and experiences of all stakeholders.
- Align outsides with insides: Purposefully aligning our words and actions with our values and beliefs allows effective leadership and growth to emerge.
Human Wellbeing
- Equal worth: My worth is equal to that of every other human being.
- Emotional value: Awareness and acceptance of my emotions creates space for compassion and balance.
- Self-surrender: Releasing my problems to the source brings peace and creates order out of chaos.
- Empowered transformation: Nurturing relationships with shared goals enables my empowerment, healing, and growth.
