Working Together

How We Share the Work

Sharing work responsibilities and various tasks has generally gone smoothly. Since we are still a fairly small group, most of us have become proficient at doing whatever needs to be done at any given time. Specializing in specific areas also occurs; people naturally gravitate towards what they are most inspired to do or their previously developed skills simply require them to do. Because most of us are co-owners, taking responsibility comes with the territory of ownership. Coming from a place of contribution is the type of culture we actively nurture and are relatively successful with.

Working Side by Side

We work together when possible since it's more enjoyable. However, we've gone through various phases over the years and generally do what's practical for any given situation. Sometimes everyone is focused on doing their own project, yet the sense of camaraderie and teamwork is still inspiring. Working with volunteers or our Costa Rican employees is always beneficial and uplifting.
