GRIL believes in six leadership values that when practiced, allow normal people to do extraordinary things — Accountability, Balance, Interdependence, Empowerment, Leverage and Diversity.

At our last session, our Emerge participants received training that focused on two of these core values – Balance and Accountability. We began by having each person define their personal mission statements. For many of us, writing a personal mission statement can be frightening and overwhelming. Working together, each learned to create their own mission statement and then joyfully share them with each other. We also conducted a great conversation on Balance and Accountability, what that means and how each individual can work to live out these values in their own personal lives and what can happen if we do not. Thanks to Founder and Board of Director Rick Rivera for attending and giving his own personal testimony.
