Company Values

• Thinking in possibilities: Giant realizes that most in the world see the world in terms of everything that is not possible. We believe the future is made by those who look at what is possible. Seeing a path of what is possible through all that is not possible requires intellectual curiosity, dedication, and diligence. We are big thinkers and believers but also pragmatists focused on relentless execution.
• Integrity of word, thought, and action: Integrity is in what is behind our words, thoughts, and actions. They help themselves and others to stay close to why they do things, so they can align, together, for the highest purpose.
• Diversity of perspectives: A good discussion is one that at the end, has all participants feel that the other participants understood them, even if they have different ideas. This requires trust, vulnerability, and compassion. Giant believes organizations, where people can truly co-create, will thrive and excel.
• Winning with purpose: We are mission-first and realize that winning is a requirement to achieve lasting change that benefits all of humanity. Even though they love to compete for good, we know winning itself is not the same as success, it’s needed to succeed.
• Ownership is key: When we own their successes and failures, our best qualities, and flaws, we can truly work in a team, as a team. Ownership unlocks greatness as a team because it enables them to support and be supported.
• The excellence of being: Excellence is an expression of being, of what we want for ourselves and others. It is passion turned into action. Giant shares a desire to learn and excel while being comfortable with failing. Excellence comes out when they’re courageously open about what they desire for this world.
• Unity in consciousness: Giant understands that we are all one. We are all working towards moving humanity forward in their own unique ways. Giant firmly believes that there is infinitely more that unites them than that separates them. Our work is to bring that out in the world.
