Describe which of these values you most identify with, and why? (AI responses will be disqualified. AI can be useful in business, but we want to hear from you in your own words.)

Our Core Values are:
(1) We Embrace Your Goals – We seek to understand the goals of our team, our clients, and our partners – we are at our best when the work we do helps people reach their goals.
(2) We Own our Commitments – How we handle the commitments we make earns or destroys trust. We work diligently to make commitments we can keep, and when we can’t keep them, we own that failure and do whatever is needed to make it right.
(3) We Take the Next Step – The work in front of us can seem large, but by focusing on taking the one simple action we can take to move each task forward, we build momentum and trust with each other and with clients.
(4) We Succeed through Empathy – We will not win at the expense of our team, clients, and partners. We will thrive most when we include the needs and desires of those around us in our definition of success.*
