**Generosity**

You are generous with your knowledge and time. You make time to go above and beyond with customers and your team. You share candid feedback to help others grow.

We will always be nimble, embrace and drive change, and challenge the status quo. So don’t get too comfortable. We are forward thinkers, obsessed with redefining the experience of our industry, we challenge every assumption, and we will make mistakes along the way. But that is inherent to every innovation.

**Perseverance**

We accept that we are not perfect, and that failure will happen. We are tenacious, but when things don't work, we pivot and embrace these experiences as information that will guide us forward. We believe in a test and learn environment and remain curious. How you inspire and impact your team drives our company's success and is your number one job.
