Our Four Core Behaviors

Solve problems proactively.

Come with solutions. Identifying a problem is crucial but engaging the problem with a potential solution is even better. We confront issues head on and take ownership –  leading the charge toward a resolution.

 

Our Four Core Behaviors

Follow up on commitments. 

Do what you say. Keeping our word is not only important externally but internally as well. Commitments are made to ourselves, each other, and our clients. Whether it be in professional development goals, annual firm updates, or project kick-off meetings, following through is all about maintaining a culture of accountability.

Our Four Core Behaviors

Wash the dishes. 

Do the small stuff. This mantra has guided our behaviors since our inception when literal dishes were the responsibility of everyone in the office. Helping one another permeates all areas of our culture.

 

 

Our Four Core Behaviors

Lead through Listening. 

Listen first, talk second. This is a guiding principle in how we interact with each other and our clients. It prioritizes empathy and assumes nothing.

 

Life at Guidon 

Our culture is not defined by perks or appearances. It is defined by how we treat each other and how we show up for our work. We value empathy. We value follow‑through. We value people who listen first and take ownership. You will work alongside talented professionals who care about doing things well. You will contribute to projects that serve real communities. Lastly, you will be trusted to lead, learn, and grow.

Training + Development

Our team is made up of driven and talented people who never stop learning. Our leaders strive to be empathetic and confident mentors. We enjoy creating individualized career paths based on personal goals and passions. Career growth is not a straight path – it’s a winding road of opportunities and unexpected changes. It’s our vision to make sure each Guidonnaire feels challenged and fulfilled in their current role and future career. The Employee Ownership Trust strengthens this commitment by aligning personal growth with shared success.
