Vision, Mission, Core Values, Mindset
Nine-Four Coaching is centered on clarifying personal and professional visions, missions, core values, here are ours.
Vision
Build strong communities
I am convinced that it takes a village to get through this life in any meaningful way, and meaning is driven by human connection. It is my vision to build strong communities…so what is a strong community?
…members:
feel belonging
share time and energy
gather together
are physically capable
care for one another during times of crisis
celebrate each other's success
set an honor healthy boundaries
make mistakes, make amends, move forward
Mission
I help clarify and co-create routes to reach meaningful destinations personally and professionally
I know what it feels like to win. I know exactly what it feels like to set a goal, take the steps to achieve it, achieve it, and feel completely hollow. I know what it feels like to win a “Race to Nowhere”
I did it twice.
A lot of people helped me work through the anger and shame and embarrassment of paying for professional success with time and experiences and connection with my friends and family.
Now I intend to pay their generosity forward
There’s a way out of the race and there’s a way to avoid the race, and it doesn’t necessarily require a wholesale change to your relationships or career
It starts with having a conversation with yourself, getting clear on what you want, discovering where you are, setting your own destination, setting your own route and staying the course. My mission is merely to help guide the process and offer tools and support
Knowing you’re in a race to nowhere isn’t a problem, most folks deep, deep down know it. It’s knowing what to do to get out of it, and feeling worthy to save...that’s what requires a village.
Core Values
Integrity - We say what we do, and will immediately make all the necessary arrangements the moment we realize we will be unable to fulfill a commitment.
Transparency - We do everything in the light of day
Creativity within Framework - Know the rules to know which ones to break
Play - Seek activities that let you lose time, be silly, tap into the relentless enthusiasm you had as a kid
Humility - Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future
Mindset
We will either find a way or we will make one
