"The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do."
- Kobe Bryant

Passion
We believe in the fire inside you. You have to love what you are building, why you’re building it, and who you are building it for… You may not always love every touchpoint or every task, but if you’re passionate about the bigger elements and broader purpose, you can do big things. If not, you won't be happy. You won't feel fulfilled. And you will never unleash your greatness. At BSB Group International, passion is part of our DNA, and it lives and breathes in our words, actions and mission.
Honesty
We believe in telling the truth. No games. No spin. No BS. We believe that honest, empathetic and respectful dialogue cuts out unnecessary tension, friction and politics. We like to keep it real - with our team, with our partners, and with our clients. With everybody.
Transparency
We believe in being open and upfront. We don’t often hold back. We give clear, constructive feedback. We realize that full transparency can sometimes be unexpected, or even awkward at times; however, we believe that if we cut to the chase, share what we really know and how we truly feel, then, together, we will come up with bigger ideas and better solutions. We reveal the good, the bad and the ugly, and then we work through it all together.
Ownership
We believe if it’s your work, it’s your responsibility. All of it. No excuses. Ownership is caring about the details, staying on top of the follow-up, and picking up the pieces when they bend, break or fall. True leaders understand that ownership has no correlation to title or tenure. It comes from a genuine desire (and yep, passion) to make a difference, and an unmistakable commitment to the vision, mission and team. NO EXCUSES.
Service
We believe we are here to help, give and serve. We understand the value of great experiences, and we know the details make all the difference. We want people to feel heard and empowered and at ease. We believe if we operate with a values-driven mindset then we all win. And life is better when we all win.
Wellness
We believe in health. And we understand greatness can’t be achieved, surpassed, or sustained unless you are mentally, physically, and spiritually well. We also understand that each aspect of wellness feeds and seeds the other - fitness leads to mental toughness and self-discipline; clarity of thought leads to nourishment of soul; belief in something enables gratitude in everything.
Diversity
We believe we are all more similar than we are different. And it’s those common bonds of humanity that allow us to build a better world. Our shared passions, emotions and challenges enable mutual respect and holistic understanding. However, we all bring something special to the table. And that uniqueness is how we define diversity. While traditional classifications of race, religion, culture and gender are well-noted, we get most excited by diversity of ideas, approaches and experiences. We want to be enriched and educated and pushed by all types of people, from all sorts of places, who’ve done all kinds of things.
Loyalty
We believe in each other. And we understand the commitment that each of us makes to the mission, the team, and the greater good. And, most importantly, we never forget the people who were there for us when all we had was a dream. It's easy to have fans and fanfare when you're winning and on top, but steadfast belief and sustained support during the lowest points and toughest times is rare, yet recognized. We are irrationally loyal - to clients, partners, and each other - and we wear that loyalty like a badge of beautiful honor.
Greatness
We believe that greatness is the bar. And as soon as that bar comes within reach, we push it higher. We push ourselves, and each other. We understand the responsibility that comes with repping “#besomebody.” We realize it's bigger than us. So we honor that reality by committing to do great work. Our best work. And we believe the ingredients to that greatness are equal parts belief, passion, and relentless work ethic. Good is not good enough. We want to be great.
Gratefulness
We are grateful for the opportunity to create our dreams. We are thankful for the chance to help others. We are humbled by the responsibility to build something of significance. We are grateful.
