We envision a new economic engine comprised of collaboration and community, in contrast to silos and secrecy. We have the talent. We just need to work together. Different environments need to overlap, to connect, and to interact in order to transform our culture. In order to create a sustainable community based on trust, we value: Collaboration over competition Community over agendas Participation over observation Doing over saying Friendship over formality Boldness over assurance Learning over expertise People of personalities What would make Sally want to do the work?

Tell show do half the speakers were outside of WP in other areas of tech speakers were not paid, not professional but succeeded or failed and willing to share story No vids, raw and real ## What story do we want to tell? ### Pagely #### Caring We passionately believe in living the golden rule and actively promoting the holistic well being and success of our customers, our company, and ourselves. If we do what’s right, success will follow. #### Consistency We are consistent in our actions, communication, service deliver, and user experience. SOAP notes (look it up) +1 do something great, add something more, and tell what you did #### Conscientious We are aware of the cascading effects of our actions within the platform, how our tone may be perceived in communication, and how our individual efforts contribute or may detract from our mission success. #### Creativity We cultivate and freely share ideas to improve our product, profitability, process, and performance. We understand that focus and constraints are a bridge to discovering creative solutions. #### Communication Trust is built on clear and timely communication at all times - between each other and our customers. We talk about the hard stuff with vigor and respect to uncover and then implement the best solution and the path forward. Let employees make mistakes Employees will leave for the same reason that they came. #### Competency We maintain and build on our depth and breadth of expertise, always seeking knowledge and refining our skills to bring them to bear for the good of our company and our customers. We aim to employ highly intelligent people who share these same values to drive the best outcomes for our product and services.
