Our Values

Values are at the center of our commitments to clients and each other.

At NPAG, we recognize that leaders - especially those of historically marginalized identities - face persistent challenges exacerbated by systemic inequities, rapid change, and dynamism that can hinder their ability to thrive in leadership roles. We believe that healthy leaders and inclusive teams are essential to achieve transformative outcomes toward equity and justice. As talent partners, we support this belief by actively working to support wellness, build community, and disrupt racism, ableism, and gender bias in our work and within our own organization.

We prioritize people and relationships. By creating conditions for engagement and experiences that are participatory, we aim to build trust and confidence and ensure that all who are part of our client engagements - regardless of their positional authority - have the opportunity to share confidential, candid input and feedback.

We lead with our values: Equity, Integrity, and Kindness.

Our commitments to our clients and each other center:

  • We center equity. We are deeply committed to advancing intersectional equity to foster inclusion and belonging in social sector leadership roles. We hold ourselves accountable and challenge ourselves to confront biases personally and professionally.

  • We lead with integrity & transparency. We bring proven tools, frameworks, and techniques to facilitate open dialogue with inclusive decision-making. At every stage, we take steps to show progress and communicate proactively across stakeholders, so that those involved in the process understand their role, how their input will be incorporated, as well as how and why decisions are being made.

  • We embrace kindness & connection. We find joy, humor, and gratitude in our work every day.
