SYNAPSE SCHOOL

We frame issues in a positive way. Positive feedback is proven to help people learn. We actively and visibly embrace joy, we laugh, we play, and we are kind because it's more fun and more effective to interact that way. We are grateful for who we are and what we have and have compassion for people and place... We maintain effectiveness in the midst of continual change by being versatile. We celebrate and invest in ourselves and our adaptability. We can't control what happens, we can control how we respond. As we say with our kids, mistakes are beautiful. We are respectful of failure and iteration... Our natural bias is everyone we work with is committed to the mission and acting to support the mission. If we interpret someone acting in a way that we think is counter to the mission, values or strategies of the organization, we respectfully raise it with them assuming good intention.
