We listen, learn, and are curious. We do our best to consider a wide range of perspectives, evidence and experiences before making decisions or acting. We are willing to evolve and admit mistakes. 

We extend kindness and compassion to everyone. We have the flexibility to use our resources to absorb risk for others. 

We know that positive, lasting impact requires patience and flexibility, coupled with equal doses of optimism and realism. We know that impact may be non-linear and are unfazed by challenges - “course correcting” as needed.

We look to work with others to enhance what we can achieve together. We bring healthy challenge and ideas; and appreciate the same from our partners. We look for solutions and have a bias for collective action and learning. 

We care more about being effective than being right. We listen to our partners and seek to engage with them in a way which is relevant and meaningful to them. We prefer to champion from the side or in the background; but if needed, we can lead from the front (for a bit).

We recognise contexts evolve and we are adaptable and supportive when they do. We strive to be agile and decisive, especially in moments of uncertainty.
