Our Values

“START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE THOUGHT AND GRATEFUL HEART”

GRATITUDE. Take a deep breath and smile! You’re alive and breathing, that’s a lot for which to be grateful. Appreciate yourself for being here; you matter to all of us at Ember & Greens. Appreciate every person you work with and treat others like they matter too (because they do).

“THE QUALITY OF OUR RELATIONSHIPS DETERMINES THE QUALITY OF OUR LIVES”

RELATIONSHIPS. We spend many hours of our lives with our co-workers. Having great relationships with each other is paramount! Build beautiful and respectful relationships with your team and our guests and we all will thrive together.

“YOUR ENERGY IS CONTAGIOUS (SO MAKE SURE IT’S POSITIVE)”

GOOD ENERGY. You have the power to generate good energy and good energy is contagious! It’s easy to get down when it’s slow, you’re stressed or you’re frustrated. That’s when you really gotta generate positivity. Bring good vibes and the positive ripples around you will amaze you!

“HOW YOU DO ANYTHING IS HOW YOU DO EVERYTHING”

MASTERY. Mastery is the intentional application of presence, initiative, engagement, diligence and self-education that ultimately leads to leadership. The opportunity to develop mastery is available in all we do here. Strive for mastery because life rewards those who develop mastery.

“A HEALTHY PERSON WANTS A THOUSAND THINGS, A SICK PERSON ONLY WANTS ONE”

HEALTH. Live a balanced life and be good to your mind, body and spirit. Breathe intentionally, get sun in your eyes abundantly, consume whole, fresh and non-processed foods, exercise, meditate and do yoga. Avoid use of substances that deteriorate your health.

“INTEGRITY IS DOING THE RIGHT THING, EVEN WHEN NO ONE IS WATCHING”

INTEGRITY. When the foundation of a building is cracked, we say it lacks structural integrity. When a thing has integrity, it means it is whole, complete and can stand on its own. Integrity is about workability. It may be tempting to cut corners, bend the rules or skim the top, especially when no one’s around but doing so crumbles our business foundations and our self-respect. We all win when we win together.
