Meet Love Jefferson, Director of A1
We believe we are at our best when we are part of a team. When we work together, humanity can accomplish nearly anything. To be a good teammate is a skill set of its own, and this essential skill set doesn’t come naturally to most of us or develop overnight. A1 uses experiential training programs to teach the social emotional skills essential to teamwork, and as a result academic, professional, and personal success. ​
Our Approach
Emotional intelligence is the ability to understand and manage our own emotions, as well as to recognize and empathize with the emotions of others. This is essential to any strong relationship, both personal and professional. A1 creates safe spaces to learn and practice emotional intelligence skills so that we can strengthen and expand our network for relationships.
​
Social skills enable us to work effectively with others towards shared goals. When we deal calmly with difficult colleagues, rock an interview, or inspire our team to work overtime to hit a deadline, we’re using our social skills. A1 breaks down team social dynamics to identify and train on the skills essential to be high performers.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone feels that they are important, knows that there is a light inside of them, and that that light belongs to the world.
Let it shine.
Our Mission
We create spaces of safety, support, and a sense of belonging, spaces where participants know they are seen, heard, and validated, so that they realize at a fundamental level that they are valuable. They are an asset to their community, team, and the world in which we all live.
