Integrity

Choose courage over comfort; what’s right over what’s fun, fast, or easy; and practice your values, not just profess them.Non-JudgementYou can ask for what you need, and they can ask for what they need. We can talk about how we feel without judgment.

Generosity

Work to extend the most generous interpretation of the intentions, words, and actions of others.
