4Cs is currently in the pre-launch phase. Over the past few months, our purpose has become clearer and has evolved. This document is created as the next stage of growth from our original Coordination Services Proposal. The intention of this document is to communicate who we are and what we do.
Who We Are
Our Purpose
[The impact we’re trying to make
in the world.]
Our key purpose is
to help people develop and grow through effective communication, coordination,
care, and culture.
We
do this with a very unique approach that we like to call
4C Services (‘Foresee’) a.k.a. 4Cs: Communication, Coordination, Care, and Culture.
[Our core strategy to fulfill our
purpose.]
We facilitate communication between
our teams while encouraging respect and connection. We thrive on coordinating our people,
projects, and processes to elevate our team’s goals through organization and
collaboration. In everything we do, we
seek to spread an inspirational culture of enabling virtuous life cycles. We encourage growth through love and personal
care. We seek to continually raise the bar while serving with a refreshing dose of humility.
A virtuous life cycle describes a
series of stages in the life of a person, product, or process that are
continuously nurtured to enhance the value of each step along the way, thus
increasing inspiration throughout, while evolving it to create higher value for
all constituents. We want people to grow and be happy. A Virtuous Life Cycle is a means to that
end. By making a life cycle virtuous,
each action is elevated to a higher purpose.
Creativity is empowered through alignment with a much greater
perspective. Use of time is freed up to
step back and look at the big picture, expand accomplishments, and develop on
higher levels. We enable virtuous life cycles. We
uncover them, improve their well-being, and make them vibrant.
Our Vision
[Our view of what we want to
achieve and how will it look when our purpose is largely realized.]
Our constituents feel supported and
inspired to grow. Our virtuous life
cycles are very well organized, nurtured, and each produces more energy than it
takes to create and utilize. We are
empowered to share our services with more of the world, therefore making a
bigger impact on the well-being of our loved ones, communities, and planet.
Our work empowers synergy amongst
our team members, our clients, our client’s customers, our stakeholders, and
our community. Our approach is to not
only improve our employee’s day-to-day activities, but to also empower every
level of all that we do.
[Our guiding instrument of
thought – what we embody and inspire in others.]
Clarity, Focus, Confidence, Courage, Health, Love, Peace.
By bringing clarity to our team members, we clear the path for them to be able
to see their goals and an effective approach.
This leads directly to them being able to have focus in what they are doing because they have alignment and
clarity on our global purpose. Having
clarity and focus on their pursuits and knowing they are aligned with our
purpose and mission, will boost everyone’s confidence
in what they are doing as well as empower their strength to move forward with courage. Achieving aligned goals and having success
through virtuous life cycles will provide an increase in energy level and
happiness which as a proven positive impact on our team’s health. Having a happy and healthy team where love is a driving force will enable our company and everyone
connected to it (clients, community, the world we are touching) to achieve a peaceful state.
Our Tenets:
[Our fundamental truths, values, and foundation.]
Participate Radically.
Active participation is a must.
There are no spectators. All
participants must seek and pursue the knowledge and understanding of how to
participate in a virtuous life cycle. We
believe that transformative change can occur only through deep personal
participation. We achieve being through
doing. “Be the change that you want to
see.”
Communal Effort. Our
community values creative cooperation and collaboration. We strive to produce, promote, and protect
social networks and methods of communication that support such interaction.
Be Genuine. The path
of growth itself is something to celebrate.
We believe the journey of improving is way more important than being the
best. Rather than over-exaggerating that
something is accomplished while it is still in progress, we are honest with
where we are at. Being genuine at all
times is core to what we do. We wouldn’t
have it any other way.
Serve with White Gloves.
Make the experience of others extremely pleasant by putting yourself in
their shoes and making their participation very simple. We feel that being in service is something to
be proud of. Helping people understand
and come to quick answers is what we want to do. We do not serve as a substitute for others’
participation – we are a partner. We
help others to understand the value of what we do and how it benefits them. We serve as your partner.
See Opportunities. As
you run into challenges or obstacles, demonstrate your ability to overcome them
by asking the right questions, researching solutions, and helping others to see
the “why” rather than jumping to the “how” (action). Rather than plowing ahead and following
assumptions, step back and ask yourself beautiful questions that may shift the
way we think about something and serve as a catalyst to bring about positive
change. Change problems into
opportunities for growth.
Adapt to Change. The
only constant in life is change. We are
comfortable in a state of continuous growth and change. We are never overly attached to things being
a certain way. We are able to quickly
pivot with a good attitude, see the value in change, and exhibit patience. Be
the example of improvement. “Resistance
to Change = Pain”
Elevate and Refine.
Go beyond ‘checking things off the list’ and think about why we are
doing them to elevate their purpose.
With anything that comes across your plate, look for options to expand
achievement and improve it. Research
best practices and refine accordingly.
Improve everything you touch and make sure integrity is included in
every aspect of what you do. Being proactive is one of our main
characteristics!
Set the Bar. Be the
example of excellence in every action that you take. Be humble with your actions and positively
encourage growth in everyone. See the
value in each person’s personality, role, and opinion and seek to create
balance for the team by integrating them all.
