core VALUES

trust

trust

  • The compounding effect lives in the culture of our team and our ability to operate effectively as a “team of teams.”  We are a team in everything we do!

  • Impact is always the goal.  If our actions do not yield results then it's time to iterate, learn and reengage with a new strategy.  Performance speaks louder than words! Fierce ownership in the results is part of our DNA!

  • Mindset is a superpower.  Through grit, perseverance and intestinal fortitude, we will “mind the gap” of change in a turbulent world.  The obstacle is our way!

  • Trust and integrity are foundational for ADVANCE.  In all our actions, we commit to building and maintaining authentic and genuine trust in all that we do.  Actions speak louder than words! 


  • We do not wait for the perfect conditions to act.  We thoughtfully disrupt the status quo in the name of progress.  Move beyond the white board, operationalize and be BOLD!

  • We are not an organization led by “a leader,” we are an organization “of leaders.”  Leadership is a skillset that can be developed and fine tuned in ALL.  We know that “iron sharpens iron” and are committed to the cause in developing skilled leaders of character, empowered to exercise responsible initiative.  Empowerment is the game changer.  Lead!

  • Growth occurs beyond the self imposed limitations of our comfort zones.  With speed, agility and intellect, we will face the challenges of our day and perform!

  • Learning and unlearning with speed is leverage in a world changing at breakneck speed.  We believe in living the After Action Review (AAR) as a way of life and that reflection should truly be tied to action.  Continuous improvement is the only way!

  • The pursuit of excellence is a non-negotiable for ADVANCE!  We do not compromise on our standards. We are unapologetic in them being high! We do not believe in mediocrity and will settle for nothing less than 100% and then some!
