What We Value

At Solutions by Shawn Edwards, we value people!  Regardless of your social identity or unique characteristics, we see everyone as a valued human being.  In support of our love for humans, our core values are Authenticity, Respect, Honesty, and Enlightenment.

Authenticity – Respect for being who you are is extremely important to us.  We desire a space where people can be themselves, without a mask or fear of not meeting the, often biased, expectations of others.  At Solutions by Shawn Edwards, you can be your authentic self and you can expect us do the same.

Respect – We understand that in organizations, everyone is at a different level of experience and understanding, especially when it comes to their diversity, equity and inclusion journey.  Because of this fact, we respect people where they are.  Regardless of your age, position, title, race or tenure, we understand that lived experiences differ.  You can expect respect from Solutions by Shawn Edwards, in every situation.

Honesty – Being honest is the only way we can create the culture we desire. Sound cultures are open to feedback, have high levels of psychological safety and trust, and are transparent.  We will openly admit when something is wrong and consistently provide honest feedback in a supportive way.  Trust is integral to every relationship and honesty is a key factor of trust.  We want to earn your trust, so at Solutions by Shawn Edwards, you can expect honesty in all feedback.

Enlightenment – With more than 20 years of experience, and advance study, we have a wealth of knowledge.  Our goal is to share what we know, when it is appropriate, to enlighten our clients as they seek to curate their desired culture.  Beyond advancing knowledge, enlightenment causes mindsets and hearts to shift.  This is what Solutions by Shawn Edwards will deliver, enlightenment regarding your goals and initiatives.
