Practice What We Preach

Practice what we preach (PWWP). All Aces has developed a number of approaches, frameworks, and tools that have helped other organizations take action to advance racial equity. Along the way we learned a lot from these experiences. We have to be able to look in our own individual and collective mirrors as an organization too. We should always be striving to improve ourselves personally and as a team. We will never turn away from the mirror so we can reach our full human and organizational potential.

OUR VALUES

All Aces is a values-based, mission-drive organization. We practice our values and measure our individual and organizational success based on how we integrate them into operations and culture. They are: Collective Care, Client Care, Playmakers, and Practice What We Preach (PWWP).

Collective Care

We do not subscribe to the concept of self care alone. We believe in collective care. We have to take care of each other, create the space for people to take care of themselves, and hold each other accountable. Our commitment to this value is reflected in how we treat each other, always checking in on how we are doing personally, and designated collective care weeks. Collective care weeks are downtime where we work diligently to not schedule any major deliverables so we can individually and collectively recharge. This includes taking time off, working on strategic initiatives, and/or investing in passion projects.

Client Care

We are passionate about our work and always come from a place of love with our clients even when it is hard. Our clients have trusted us enough to bring us into their worlds. We honor that by always showing the utmost respect and taking every measure to ensure they have a special experience with us. We remain humble and curious in our engagements. However, it also means that we will not have our own humanity disrespected. We commit to having explicit, developmental conversations with clients to maintain Team All Aces' collective care.

Playmaker

We are all capable and valuable members of Team All Aces. Although we have assigned roles and responsibilities, none of us feels too important to help with the little things...see a need, fill a need. We have ideas about how be better and do better. We focus on problem solving to resolve challenges and not complaints. We will all remain humble and curious in the face of constructive criticism and feedback. We take informed, decisive action to move the work forward. We are not in competition with each other, we are a team of playmakers who can be put in difficult situations and still make amazing work happen together.
