Be Legendary. Change the Narrative. CoCreate Work.
To Put Your Company Values into Action, Create Working Agreements
CoCreate Work founders La’Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen featured in Harvard Business Review
Values shouldn’t live on posters — they should shape how we work every day.
In their Harvard Business Review feature, La’Kita Williams and Chloe Andersen introduce working agreements: a practical, collaborative framework that helps teams bring company values to life through shared language, understanding, and accountability.
Purpose, Mission, & Working Agreements
Our Purpose:
To build the future of transformational work.
Our Mission:
We work with purpose driven leaders and founders to intentionally build transformational culture – impacting hundreds of thousands of families and communities. We are on a mission to help organizations that are aiming to create a better world to build with purpose, using systems, research, and intuition to co-create with their teams.
Working Agreements are the ways in which we partner with each other in all of the work we do.
01
Be a Guide
We meet people where they are, but we don’t leave them there. We seek to understand and ask coaching questions. We do not bypass the learning process for each other or our clients. We provide space for our team and our clients to figure things out. We help them learn, trust their experience, and teach or advise when needed.
02
Express Joy
We celebrate wins. We operate from a place of abundance and aim to work from our best. We show the truest part of ourselves while working towards joy. We have fun as we partner with clients who are creating a better future. We know that when we support each other’s happiness, we are stronger.
03
Work with Purpose
We’re here to make a difference. We are driven by our shared purpose, our individual purposes, and our desire to make an impact. Purpose and impact are critical to what it means to be human and each of us brings our individual purpose to our work. Together, we aim to create change that matters. When we feel out of alignment, we talk about it and find our way back. This is a place for dreaming big and building what we believe in. We show up and ask for what we need to learn and grow.
04
Start Strong and Finish Stronger
We deliver our best work all the way through from v1 to the end result. If we know something needs to be done, even if it’s not on the checklist, we do it, continuing through to the transformation and impact we intended. We create the right offer at the right price for the right clients so we can deliver impact and transformation every time. We follow through on what we say we will do.
05
Build Our Reputation
We do work that makes us the trusted, go-to partner. Our clients’ success is our strongest endorsement. We deliver transformation that speaks for itself, building a reputation through the impact we create. We aim to be the first call our clients make when they need support, and the first recommendation they give to their colleagues.
06
Be Transparent
We give direct and clear feedback based on our agreements and not our personal preferences. We own our mistakes, knowing that we all make them and we can all learn from them. We communicate openly and clearly. We always tell the truth and stand in integrity.
07
Get It Done
We take ownership in our work. We are entrepreneurial and we get it done. We use our agreements as a guide. We take the initiative even when there is risk. We know that work is iterative, so we deliver our best, and then improve upon it as we work toward transformation.
08
Seek the Best Interest
We work in the best interest and care of our clients, communities, and our team. We are constantly learning, growing, and approaching our work with curiosity in order to be the best advisors and caretakers for our clients. We help each other win.
09
Be Strategic
We think big and take a strategic approach. Our expertise helps guide the strategy and we are thoughtful about how we get there. We know things unfold with time, and we do our best to look around corners and think things through to their logical end. We do the right thing, even when difficult, because we know it leads to change. We are bold and not afraid to shift and take a new approach.
10
Foster Well-Being
We foster an environment that considers one another’s capacity and meet each other where we are. We recognize that our ability to be productive and fulfilled is linked to our well-being. We actively make space for each of us to bring our whole selves to work. We are aware of our own capacity and ask for support when needed.
Our Commitment
By working with CoCreateWork, all partners and collaborators agree to uphold these working standards. These agreements are designed to create a productive, respectful, and growth-oriented environment for everyone involved.
