Integrity Academy
We value ‘going alongside’ to grow together to realize better; we are made that way. The book, THE JOURNEY FOR INTEGRITY, gives the tools we use for growing personally and then together.
Our purpose – to move toward our best selves by doing good ‘stuff’ together.
Our culture – our collaborative spirit committed to win-win relationships that ‘work for the good’ as:
- Learners who purpose to do and be better
- Teachers, coaches, mentors and facilitators who mature together
- A community who works with and supports us over the long-term.
Our processes – the TEAMI models that grow values, knowledge and skills.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
On accountability, Abraham Lincoln said, “You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather is” and Bible says, “So then, each of us will give an account to God.”
“Growth is never by mere chance. It is the result of forces working together.” J. C. Penney
“People change when they hurt enough that they have to change, learn enough that they want to change, receive enough that they are able to change.” John C. Maxwell
“Growing demands a temporary surrender of security. It means giving up familiar but limiting patterns, safe but unrewarding work, values no longer believed in, and relationships that have lost their meaning.” John C. Maxwell
“The historical evidence is that, time and again, the greatest successes come from a series of targeted incremental steps forward that confront, one by one, the full variety of problems [and opportunities] to be addressed. Conversely, the biggest failures come from trying to do too much, too soon… and are likely to do more damage than good and fall short.” James Surowiecki
