What it Means to Be a Learning Organization
To us, professional development isn’t about measuring performance. It’s about developing mastery in your chosen discipline, as well as a greater evolutionary purpose to learn, adapt, and grow. We prioritize the growth of our team members’ strengths, uniqueness, and capacity to self-reflect because we believe self-directed inquiry is the secret to mastery and is part of our collective health and resiliency as a community.
