Reflections:
John: Using the process of establishing and/or revising values as a way of pulling in the experience of marginalized people in the company.
Jamey: Think about who your values put pressure on.
Jacob: Balance between whether values should be aspirational or should they be a reflection of things that people in the company have already internalized.
Ariel: Aspirational vs. Reflective values and when is the right time for each. Also, there is a point of giving too much weight to the values.
