"hound habits"
Make it better:
We are firm believers in continuous improvement and growth mindset. Focus on humility, growing personally and helping those around you. Things will never be perfect, but you can always make it better.
Embrace the wind:
Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes a fire. Take risks, embrace the uncertain, welcome challenge and failure, rebound, and grow. Be a bonfire among candles.
Bake more cookies:
We can either fight over the cookie jar (competition), share one cookie (compromise), or bake more warm cookies together so everyone can enjoy (collaboration). Focus on building more win/win/win scenarios and rejecting zero-sum games. Chocolate chip or sugar?
Punt the skunks*:
Skunks spray “negativity” onto others, and eventually, everyone starts stinking. Protect each other and our culture at all costs. Don't be stanky. *No skunks were harmed in the making of this habit.
