 Core Values

Focus, Learn, Innovate, and Teamwork

A woman has the word focus tattooed on her fist.

Focus

"That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains."


-Steve Jobs

"Your billion-dollar ideas don't show up in the middle of dramatic distraction. They show up when you have the business and personal discipline to make space for your creative mind to flourish."

-Robin S. Sharma
"Focus on the positives and be grateful."

-Katrina Bowden

Learning

"Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins."


-Jim Rohn

"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn."

-Benjamin Franklin

-Julie Payette
"If you're going to preach dedication, work ethic, teamwork, unselfishness, and being part of a team to accomplish a common goal, you have to live it - you can't just talk about it."
