VALUES

Humanity : Underneath our exterior is a similarity that makes us all the same. We are humans and should exhibit empathic humanity and grace towards one another.

Leardership>Management: Leadership is a collaborative process by which one guides, coaches, inspires and influences others to achieve organizational success.

Growth is Infinite: No matter where you are in life, there will always be room for growth. We operate in a constant place of learning about ourselves, others and from one another.

Change is a Constant: Today's fad is tomorrow's history, and we believe in keeping up with the Jones' -or in our case, The Jaxsons. In order to do that, we have to embrace change as a necessary constant that brings forth continuous improvement and innovation.

Fun in the Sun: Our work should be fun and a ray of light in a dimming world. Smiles, quick-witted humor, and corny jokes is just what the world needs.

Motto: Be comfortable being uncomfortable.
