EmpowerING
Sharing strategies and ideas with an openness to listen to other’s ideas; giving community members the authority to thrive with their own skill sets.
WHEN WE LIVE OUT THE VALUE OF EMPOWERING, IT:

FEELS LIKE
Are safe
Have a sense of comfort
Are encouraged
Foster creative ideas

SOUNDS LIKE
“Do you have anything to add?”
“I value your opinion.”
“What would you like to see?”
“You got this!”
“Go for it!”

LOOKS LIKE
Include others
Doing more than asked
Sharing ideas with others
Offering compliments
Encouraging others
Acknowledging small strides
Do you know someone who lives out these values?
