Cultivating a Values-Driven Culture: The Heartbeat of Effective Organizations
As a woman balancing multiple professional and personal responsibilities, I’ve felt the pressure to “do it all.” In such situations, being part of an organization that supports and understands these challenges is vital. NEW, SkySpecs, and EntryPoint have all demonstrated how a values-driven culture can provide that support, allowing people to excel. Do I sometimes work until 2 am when I have a big deadline? Yes, sometimes I do. Do I also feel comfortable and supported to cancel everything when a global pandemic hits or my kids have a snow day? Yes, I do.
NEW Center Transformation Update – February 2024
I hope this message finds you well and that the brighter days are a balm to your spirits! I am writing to share some updates on our ongoing efforts to transform our physical space here at the NEW Center. As we usher in Black History Month I am reminded that dreaming is a revolutionary act. We’ve been hard at work bringing our improved community-centric space – a place where dreams and action collide – to life. I’m humbled by the labor of so many that are committed to making this happen and are offering their gifts and brilliance with so much love! I’m also grateful for the support and patience that many of you have extended to me and the team as the development unfurls.
