Our team is committed to each other through our Community Agreement.
The Financial Beginnings Community Agreement reflects how we want to show up. It’s here to guide us in building spaces where everyone feels welcome, supported, and respected.
Lead With Empathy And Patience
We assume positive intent and give each other grace.
Keep An Open Mind
Different perspectives bring new insights, and even challenging conversations can build connection and understanding.
Listen To Understand
Let others finish their thoughts, seek to understand before responding, and avoid assumptions.
Respect Different Ways Of Communicating
Everyone can share input in a way that works for them.
Make Room For Every Voice
If you tend to be quiet, feel free to jump in; if you tend to talk a lot, look for opportunities to listen.
Be Mindful Of The Group
Minimize distractions and keep cameras on during virtual meetings so we can fully connect. Be sure the right people are included in each conversation.
Care For Ourselves
Take breaks, honor your needs, and rejoin when you’re ready.
Celebrate Wins And Failures
With successes big or small, we cheer each other on! We also see mistakes as part of growth.
Committed to community. Committed to each other.
