Our values form the vital nervous system of Transform Together, serving as the guiding force behind our collective efforts to assist our clients. We take time to learn about our associate practitioners values and share our values with them. This ensures that we have complementary values that work together. On their own, our values are like isolated snapshots, each carrying a distinct meaning. However, when woven together, they create a dynamic flipbook, revealing a layered narrative of how each individual operates within the organisation.
We judge our achievements by how well our values are woven into our daily tasks.
Mindset:
We define mindset as a person’s way of thinking and opinions. It’s how one thinks, feels, acts towards themselves and the world around them. We understand the power of mindset—how people think, feel, and act shapes their view of themselves and the world. Our goal is to mould our mindset consciously, understanding that it’s flexible and can be influenced. This means we’re always questioning and challenging our own beliefs. We actively work on ensuring how our mindset guides our interactions with our associates and contributes to our organisational culture.
Resilience:
We think that resilience is a person’s ability to recover from or adjust to change. In times of uncertainty or confusion, our steadfast dedication to resilience becomes a stabilising force. Navigating challenges and deciphering change has been an ongoing journey in both our personal and professional lives, demanding a continuous wellspring of resilience. Embracing resilience is more than a response; it’s a commitment to stand firm, plant our roots, and persistently grow from the locus of our control.
This commitment to resilience is not just a personal endeavour; it’s a value we actively seek and encourage in our associates. We recognize its transformative power. The aim is not just to weather storms but to thrive in their wake, fostering a culture where resilience is not just a trait but a shared commitment that empowers us all.
Authenticity:
Authenticity has to do with a person’s ability to be consistently genuine, grounded and real to oneself, no matter the circumstance. We embrace the spirit of vulnerability, encouraging self-reflection to ensure authenticity permeates every interaction.
Beyond being a foundational value, authenticity plays a pivotal role in fostering healing and interpersonal harmony. We acknowledge the challenges that come with being conscious of one’s authenticity and expressing it clearly to others. Our dedication to embodying authenticity serves as a catalyst for facilitating intrapersonal and interpersonal breakthroughs. We believe that by nurturing authenticity, we create a space where genuine connections thrive, paving the way for transformative experiences and lasting relationships.
Accountability:
Empowering clients to shoulder responsibility for their actions and decisions is a cornerstone of our approach. Providing steadfast support and guidance, we hold associates accountable to their goals, actions, and visions for themselves. ensure they stay on course.
We also deeply understand the liberating feeling that accompanies the expression of individual and collective accountability. This transformative act has the power to mend personal and group wounds, creating a space where equitable conversations flourish. By instilling a sense of accountability, we nurture an environment where open and honest dialogue thrives.
Achievement:
Feeling a sense of achievement that sits with us is difficult to achieve for most of us. While we are committed to working collaboratively with clients and associates to set realistic and attainable goals, we make sure to celebrate successes along the way. Recognising the importance of acknowledging and appreciating milestones is part of the transformative journey, one that can bring us back to composure in our low moments.
Adaptability:
Essentially, adaptability is intricately linked with resilience. When confronted with uncertainties, we view adaptability not just as a skill but as a dynamic force propelling us towards favourable and impactful results. This perspective unites us in a shared commitment to navigate change with confidence and creativity.
Adaptability extends its influence beyond individual adjustments. It’s a collective response to unforeseen adversities and unwelcome changes. This quality defines our organisational ability to be flexible and responsive to the ever-evolving needs and circumstances of our clients and associates. We assist in developing coping strategies to navigate challenges, promoting adaptability as an essential skill.
Diversity:
For us, diversity means a person’s ability to recognize, welcome and learn from difference, and the openness to being changed into something new. Our pursuit of diversity is informed by the crucial role intersectionality plays in understanding how social systems shape, influence, and create conditions that impact personal and group behaviours.
This holistic approach ensures that our exploration and appreciation of diversity go beyond surface-level differences, allowing us to comprehend and address the interconnected layers that contribute to a truly inclusive and comprehensive understanding.
Self-advocacy:
Self-advocacy has to do with a person’s ability to communicate what they need, and use their voice within the context of their freedoms, obligations and responsibilities.
In parallel, we adopt the same lens for ourselves, viewing self-advocacy as a priority over personal branding. It serves as the bridge connecting our core beliefs to our practice, effectively verbalising our work and underlining our commitment to ourselves, associates, and clients. By prioritising self-advocacy, we ensure that our principles are not only upheld but also actively communicated, creating a resonance between our values and the tangible expression of our commitment in our interactions.
Balance:
Guided by the principle of balance, we assist clients in discovering harmony in their lives. Our support extends to aiding them in making wholesome choices for their physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being, emphasising the significance of holistic development.
In our commitment to helping clients achieve a balanced state of mind, we recognise the need to fine-tune our own scales. This involves bringing a proactive approach to our work-life balance and prioritising the same for our associates. It is from a foundation of harmonious balance that we can initiate substantial transformation, both individually and collectively. By ensuring equilibrium in our own lives, we strengthen our ability to guide others on a journey towards holistic well-being and sustainable growth.
Courage:
In our unwavering dedication to courage, we actively assist clients in cultivating resilience, providing steadfast support and valuable resources to help them overcome challenges and obstacles. Courage, for us, transcends being merely a quality—it serves as a powerful catalyst for transformation. It emboldens us to confront our deepest fears, offering the strength needed for healing.
Standing firmly beside our clients and associates, we extend unwavering support throughout their journey toward personal growth. This commitment to courage not only empowers individuals to navigate difficulties but also nurtures an environment where personal transformations thrive. This ripple effect extends beyond the individual, contributing to a collective growth that resonates within our community. By fostering a culture of courage, we create a space where resilience, healing, and transformation are not just encouraged but become integral to the shared narrative of our collective journey.
Curiosity:
At the core of our values is the promotion of a spirit of curiosity and exploration—a quality deeply ingrained in our approach. For us, curiosity is more than a trait; it’s a healing force. It serves as a guiding light, leading us to discover various facets of ourselves in connection with the world and our strengths.
Curiosity acts as a catalyst, propelling us beyond the confines of our perspectives, allowing us to embrace a more comprehensive view of life. It empowers us to tap into our inner child, fostering a sense of wonder that helps us engage with the present more consciously.
In our commitment to curiosity, we extend an invitation to our clients and associates to ask questions, seek new knowledge, and adopt a mindset of continuous learning. This not only fuels personal growth but also contributes to the collective journey of discovery and development. Embracing curiosity becomes a transformative journey, unlocking new possibilities and nurturing an environment where both personal and collective growth flourish.
Dignity:
Treating clients and associates with respect, dignity, and compassion is non-negotiable. We value their inherent worth and dignity as human beings, ensuring every interaction is grounded in empathy and understanding.
We preserve their individuality and recognise the unique journey they navigate. In every engagement, we strive to create an environment where dignity is not only upheld but celebrated. It is a foundational principle that ensures each individual feels seen, heard, and appreciated.
In essence, our values converge to create a collective transformation for clients. Connection serves as a steady anchor in their journey, well-being is a shared commitment, and each client contributes to our collective wisdom.
Imagine these values as a potluck gathering. When new associates join, they’re not just team members; they bring unique spices to enrich our collective mix—resulting in a delightful blend of rich flavours that we all get to enjoy. These values are not mere abstract principles but function as a practical roadmap, guiding our collective efforts to assist clients and shaping our interactions with ourselves, associates, and clients.
Transform Together is not just about counselling or facilitation; it’s about establishing an environment where individuals are seen as unique contributors to their own transformation, and our values are the heartbeat of this transformative process.
How these values impact our work at Transform Together
Without a solid foundation in our values, we would find it difficult to find true meaning in our work together. It is our values that drive us and our associates to remain focused on our vision, and it is our values that guide our behaviours, activities and connections towards that vision: to build a path through change together. To transform together.
