Teamwork: working together in a positive and inclusive manner toward a common goal; sharing responsibility toward continued improvement
Hard Work: giving it your all, even when challenged and pushed to your limits; being consistent and balanced through exhaustion and staying focused on the tasks at hand

Respect: combining dignity and empathy, best expressed through both verbal and non verbal communication
