In a society where everything is for sale, the ultimate commodity is that which cannot be bought. In this uplifting presentation, Sara Fritsch will discuss the advantages of a "not for sale" strategy and why authenticity plays such a vital role in our crowded, hyper-consumerist market. From reflections on thoughtful scalability to simple ground rules for more mindful ways to work, this talk will highlight why values matter more now than ever and spark a new conversation on what true success really looks like.

Hold the door
Whistle while we work
Take vacations
Live the brand
Assume positive intent
Think yes first
Set others up for success
Demonstrate empathy
Meet others where they are
Develop our people
Collaborate early and often
No bad ideas
Build and earn trust
Contribute, show up, tune in
Remember how we got here
Define where you are going and why
Define what success will look like
Anticipate (vs. react)
Take notes
What we do should prove why we exist
Clearly define problems
Ask for what you need
Be customer-centric
Ground all conversations in why
Think big
Influence equals accountability
Embrace change
Be nimble
Pursue authentic scalability
Accept progress over perfection
Be patient
BE
COOL
GO
FOR IT!

authentic living
& working
Chase what you desire,
collect what calls your name
and create according to no
one’s rules but your own.
