 _____ Freedom: I feel in control of my destiny, I can think, feel and share. I have a voice. I can have an opinion. In my world, I can agree or disagree, but then I commit. I am trusted as a responsible adult.

 _____ A Cause: I have a purpose. I know I make a difference. I am working for something bigger than profits, productivity, or production. What I do and how I do it contributes to a cause. I know I must make my world a better place to be – both at and outside work. I know I need to keep my company healthy, to keep myself and my world healthy.

 _____ Confidence: I feel my doubts are resolved, my world is transparent, and communication is fluid. I know when things are going well or not, and I know when I've done a great job. I trust the people around me. I trust my managers and leaders. I have one foot in the present and one foot in the future. I feel I am set up for success.

 _____ A Clean infrastructure: I feel my workplace works for and not against me. There are clean processes, systems, procedures, and policies to help me. Nothing stops me from doing my job well.
