One of the values that STTIT holds most deeply is that every person matters and that every person can be a gift to those around them. We believe that everyone has something to offer to the world, something that teaches us, opens us up to a world and perspective beyond ourselves, something that can help us to see things that we would never see without them. This value is the foundation of how we listen and how we approach everyone we encounter.
We try to model that value in everything we do as a team serving together to help the world to listen.
We hold everyone on our team of compassionate listeners and listening trainers, along with everyone who contributes their gifts to our mission behind the scenes, as persons of inherent worth and promise.
This week, six of our team members were able to join together in a vital team-building day of growing to know one another better, learning more about the behind the scenes aspects of our mission, and having a little fun along the way. It was a special and memorable day, one for which we were all grateful. It felt good to have a change of scenery and to focus on what makes a team of people dedicated to helping the world to listen well, growing together to do that work in an even better way.
To be most effective in service to others, we believe that the stronger our team is, the better we serve and meet othersโ needs. We believe the same thing for every organization, every team, every relationship. The more we can know and understand one another, the more engaged we will all be in our relationships and in the life and work we share together.
For those of us in the work of caring for others and their well-being - and arenโt we all involved in that work, caring for others to make the world a better place(?) - it is essential to work well with others to be and do our very best.
We believe in the transformative power of listening, of fostering deeper connections, and of appropriate vulnerability that connects us as human beings. We all want to better know one another and to be better known by one another. Our team members are dedicated to continuing to grow, to learn, and to be open to one another and those whom we serve so that we are modeling a better way for our world to be a better place for all of who are in it.
