Our Approach to Hero CraftingTaking a S.T.A.N.C.E.

A stance is the way that you stand, hold yourself, and get ready to engage. Heroes need to be able to take action at a moment’s notice, but its important to pause long enough to make sure that the action helps instead of harms. Whenever we are starting the work and often during the work it is important to ask ourselves:

Are we taking the right STANCE?

Service
Are we focused on helping in a way that actually serves the people involved — not just ourselves?
Toolbuilding
Are we building tools that really work, not just ideas that sound good?
Adventure
Are we willing to take real risks, test in the real world, and learn from what happens?
Narrative
Are we ready to tell the real story — what we tried, what worked, and what didn’t?
Character
Are we acting with integrity and taking responsibility for our choices and outcomes?
Empathy
Are we listening deeply and designing with the people affected by the problem?
