Zing Foundation

A Few of Our Core Values

Kindness

Give the other person the benefit of the doubt. Assume good intentions.
Check out assumptions. Ask and listen. Forgive others. Forgive yourself.

Clear communication

Learn skills of empathy, assertiveness, and appreciation.
Raise discontents directly and cleanly.

Balance

Aim big, work hard – and know it’s all a game. Keep perspective.
At work, be present with our bodies and hearts as well as our minds. Take sufficient breaks from the computer and telephone to move, rest, eat well and revive.

Be the change we want to see

The spirit with which we work is as important as the work itself. Find ways to bring color and joy into all our work days. Sing, dance, offer massages, be silly, tell jokes, run to see the sunset, bring in chocolates and flowers. Celebrate progress, grieve losses.
Incorporate the power of creative arts into meetings and the organizational culture.

Love

Treat every person you encounter at work as a potential friend to you and a dear supporter of Zing’s work.
Building positive relationships is essential to all our work, and the spirit we bring is as important as the outcomes.
