Our Values
Guided By Truth
Our work is guided by time-tested, life-giving truths.
Love One Another
We believe that one’s greatest calling is to serve and we believe that love is powerful – from our interactions with each other to the way we serve our clients.
Authenticity... For Real, For Real, For Real
We desire to build genuine connections and true community; we approach each other and our clients genuinely, humbly and openly, knowing we are all on a journey of growth.
Growth. Always.
We believe that we are continually transforming as individuals and as an organization. We strive to live in the ‘stretch zone’ where personal growth is cultivated.
Truett Cathy + The WinShape Foundation
Chick-fil-A Founder Truett Cathy understood the importance of building a culture where people are fulfilled through meaningful work and relationships. It was his legacy and support that paved the way for the founding and mission of WinShape Teams.
Today we still uphold Truett’s values of servant leadership and healthy teaming, and we are proud to create and provide transformational experiences for teams and leaders with these in mind.
The WinShape Foundation and it’s ministries work to create space for real spiritual change in people’s lives. Through connection, training, development and fun, we facilitate the shift in perspective to help you impact what matters most. Rooted in transformation, our ministry work offers opportunities for spiritual growth in every stage life.
“Everything about being here drives home our goal of full-body leadership… making people better at home and at work.”
K. Manning
Shaw Industries
“Almost every one of our leaders that we have brought to WinShape Teams is still on our team, and many of them are flourishing in leadership roles. The members of my team that you have interacted with are much more effective at serving our guests and leading our team, as a result of your influence.”
J. Wynn
CFA at Veterans & College
“I just can’t say enough about how much I learned without sitting in a classroom all day. I learned about myself and our team. I would HIGHLY recommend WinShape to any team looking to grow. Your commitment to excellence shines through in everything you do.”
