Our Values
The three Core Values of Curiosity, Consistency and Communication work in conjunction with each other to create the two Core Values of Trustworthiness and Reliability.
Encompassing all of these values is Appreciation – acknowledging and valuing the positive qualities, actions, or contributions that an individual, item, or experience brings into our lives. Appreciation goes beyond simple recognition and encompasses a more profound sense of gratitude and acknowledgement for the impact and value that someone or something has.
Curiosity
The desire to know and be inquisitive about anything including others concerns. Curious people always ask questions and search for answers. Their minds are always active.
Consistency
Demonstrating a high level of integrity, honesty, loyalty and respect in all situations with all people. Reliability and uniformity in dealings with clients.
Communication
Great communicators choose their words well, understand their audience, and connect with them at the right time and place. You can master the skills and learn how to be an effective communicator internally and externally.
Trustworthiness
Acting to demonstrate, realise and promote the value of trustworthiness requires that you act in good faith in your relationships with other people. Trust is to be earned.
Reliability
The ability to be relied on or depended on, as for accuracy, honesty, or achievement. Consistent performance upon which you can depend or trust.
Appreciation
When we appreciate someone, we take the time to truly understand and acknowledge their efforts, qualities, or contributions. It may involve expressing gratitude, admiration, or respect for their actions, talents, or presence. Appreciation can be expressed through words, gestures, acts of kindness, or even by simply being fully present and attentive in the moment. Appreciation plays a vital role in nurturing and strengthening personal and interpersonal connections. It creates a positive and supportive atmosphere, fostering deeper relationships built on trust, respect, and understanding. By expressing genuine appreciation, we uplift and validate others and cultivate a sense of fulfilment and joy within ourselves.
At IAS, we understand the transformative power of appreciation within our team and with our clients. We are empowering our team to be conscious leaders and include appreciation in our 1:1 meetings with each team member. If we are providing constructive feedback, we also need to provide positive affirmations for the work that is being undertaken to change and grow.
