Our Values
Compassion
At Equivalent Exchange we believe that compassion is the key to effectively connecting with people regardless of how similar or different we may be. When we act with compassion our differences can be overcome, our motives understood, our goals aligned, and our relationships strengthened.
Growth
Growth is the cornerstone. By making ourselves better we give ourselves the opportunity to make our life better for us, and for those around us. By being a better version of yourself, you are then able to show others the way and help them reach heights that they didn't previously believe they could.
Success
What success looks like for each person is different. For some, it's a nice house or car. For others, it's freedom to travel, or to enjoy whatever experience calls to them. For myself, and I think many others, it is a bit of those, but also the quality of the relationships and experiences that we build with those around us. At Equivalent Exchange, we work to help individuals determine and reach their own personal version of what success means for them.
Integrity
Integrity is the foundation of everything we do. Without integrity, growth is not truly growth, leadership becomes a lie, and success is tainted. Honesty and integrity are the backbone of genuine forward momentum.
Leadership
Leadership is how we impact others. We lead with our core values, and the welfare of those we lead, in mind. We lead by example. We lead to build leaders that will do the same.
Our Mission
We build expert sales teams for our non-profit and for-profit clients to represent, personalize, and connect their campaigns with our local community. We strive to build a network of strong, goal-oriented leaders focused on self-growth and driven to build up those around them.
At Equivalent Exchange, our mission is to create a better future for the world one leader, one person, one relationship, and one conversation, at a time, and inspire those we connect with to do the same.
``Humankind Cannot Gain Anything Without First Giving Something In Return. To obtain, Something Of Equal Value Must Be Lost,,
Equivalent Exchange is at the core of everything we do. In order to gain something, you must give something in return. The greater
the value of the thing you want, the greater the cost. Whether they be material or immaterial, everything has a cost. ​
​
At Equivalent Exchange it's about more than money. It's about dreams, and the type of life that you want to have. We work here, to craft from our dreams the reality of that life which we seek. Whatever it may be, as you see it, you can build it.
