ABOUT GRAVITAS IMPACT
OUR CORE PURPOSE
IMPACT: Changing Lives, Making A Difference, Together.
OUR CORE VALUES
FOR THE GOOD OF THE ORDER
As a generous servant leader, give freely of your time and talents to make our community better. Encourage and inspire one another.
OH YEAH, WHY NOT?
Acknowledge roadblocks, then “blow them up!” Giving up or giving in are not part of who we are. Tackle challenges head on.
CHECK YOUR EGO AT THE DOOR
Be humble, embrace feedback and accept constructive coaching. The people who think they are the smartest in the room, never are.
WE WIN TOGETHER OR WE DON’T PLAY
Think abundantly, embrace the win-win mindset and relentlessly pursue alternatives that improve everyone’s situation.
EXPONENTIAL IMPACT
Leveraging the collective expertise of the community to achieve a higher level of impact than we can individually.
WE WALK THE TALK
Demonstrate integrity with the attitudes, tools and methods you ask your clients to embrace. Deliver on your commitments and communicate proactively and transparently.
TRANSFORMATIONAL IMPACT
Gravitas Impact premium coaches partnered with Transform African Ministries and Fit for Life, a program which supports novice entrepreneurs in setting up and building businesses they are passionate about. With scarce employment opportunities facing this generation in Uganda, the impact was life-changing for these young, potential business owners, as well as for their communities, their country and the continent as a whole. Coach Judith Icumar shares their compelling stories in this video.
