What does my Grandpa's fish cabin have in common with the values at CheckingIn?

Bringing virtual gathering spaces to foster holistic healing, preserve traditions and create belonging through cultural connection for First Nation communities. Culture is Healing.
Everything...
Over the past year, we launched a company on a mission to build the world’s most intelligent platform for early stage detection and prevention of mental illness.
Since then, we've facilitated over 20,000 check ins, and had 23 people contribute their expertise and time to help be apart of something that is empowering every one of us to create a better world.
We've partnered with companies like Accenture, D-Wave Systems Inc., The University of British Columbia, BC Psychological Association and many more.
So, what's the deal with my Grandpa's fish cabin? Well, it's the narrative of what the fish cabin represents that is deeply entrenched in how we are building CheckingIn.
The fish cabin is a remote area off the west coast of Vancouver Island, and some of my best memories and deepest thinking has taken place at the fish cabin. It’s never about the number of fish in the boat, it’s about showing up and enjoying the time on the water, working to improve the cabin, and spending quality time with family. It’s about creating and cultivating a way of being and a feeling that radiates a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
To me, the fish cabin represents:
- Resilience - will this stand the test of time?
- Resourceful - can we be creative and improvise with what we do have?
- Hard work - what are we willing to sacrifice today for tomorrow?
- Know who we are - is this what and how we want to do it?
- Toughness - is this durable? Can we adapt quickly?
- Fun - are we enjoying the process?
- Functionality first - does it work?
- Patience - what can we improve today?
I couldn’t be more proud to share these values with an amazing group of people that are responsible for the impact that CheckingIn is already making in this world.
If these values resonate with you - we are always looking for amazing people to join us. Please reach out sean[at]checkingin.co

4 年I haven't had the opportunity to visit the cabin yet, but I have had the opportunity to work with Sean and the rest of the team at CheckingIn, and I can say that I have felt those values first hand! Might I add another one that I felt? Family! Whether that be feeling like a family as a team, the importance of family in our personal lives, or creating a sense of family through the conscious conversations stoked by a check-in... CheckingIn created a family that is consciously trying to create something meaningful for others. Thank you, Sean, and the rest of the team for all the value-driven work you put in and allowed me to contribute towards!
