Our core values aren't just words on a page—they're the heartbeat of everything we do. Over the next several weeks, we're taking you behind the scenes to share the principles that guide DORIS and fuel our impact. First up: Lead with Listening. We believe every voice deserves to be heard. That's why listening is where we start—whether it's a quiet whisper, a bold idea, or a passionate "hear me out" rant, we lean in with curiosity. By asking thoughtful questions and truly engaging, we uncover the insights that drive meaningful solutions and lasting connections. When has listening helped you solve a problem or spark an "aha!" moment? Let us know in the comments. #DORISResearch #DORIS #DORISValues #HumanEcology #PeopleFirst #LeadWithListening #CollaborationMatters #InnovationThroughUnderstanding

Isn't it funny what random things stick with us over the years? For example, Meghan still remembers every word of the preposition song she learned in school.

What's that one thing you remember after all this time? Share yours below and let's dig up some forgotten gems together! #DORISResearch #DORIS #HumanEcology #SillySongs #HiddenGems #MemoryLane

Investing in your workspace? Great! But does it align with your team's needs? Sam's latest column in the Indianapolis Business Journal reminds us that focusing on cultural human factors can make or break the impact of any work environment investment. Understanding what your built environment is truly communicating to your team is key to making changes that count. Don't assume—analyze, listen, and build thoughtfully.

We're tackling a serious question today: is listening to an audiobook the same as reading it?

Watch now to discover how our environment and communities influence us in unexpected ways. #DORISResearch #DORIS #HumanEcology #Ecology #Environment #Connection #Community
