Who We Are
About She+ Geeks Out
Our mission is to abolish inequity in the workplace. We believe it’s necessary to take a holistic approach to address this need.

Our values
Excellence
We strive for excellence in everything we do, no matter how major or minor. We are responsible for our actions and how we may impact others. We are committed to providing our customers, our community, and our team with the highest possible standard of quality through our reliability, our dependency, and our integrity.
Curiosity
We are ever-evolving and remain committed to being curious about how we can be better as individuals and as a company. We understand that learning is never a finite process and we welcome every opportunity to seek deeper understanding in all ways.
Efficiency
Efficiency is key to how we operate, and it’s about working smart, not (just) working hard! Since day one, we have prided ourselves on finding ways to be resourceful and adaptable under a variety of circumstances. We also understand that being efficient is a long-term game. Setting up systems, tweaking processes, and making sure that we respond quickly and correctly to everyone we work with is critical to our success as a company.
Having a Growth Mindset
Nothing and no one is ever perfect, and we don’t expect perfection. Having a growth mindset means that we learn from our mistakes so we can correct and be better the next time. We don’t let our failures or losses derail our work or our emotions, because we see everything as an opportunity for growth, not an end.
Intentionality
We believe that being aware and intentional about our actions is the key to creating a more inclusive workplace and world. Slowing down can have a tremendously positive impact on small interactions that can lead to powerful ripple effects and lasting change.
What's a geek?
A geek, according to the Merriam Webster Dictionary, is “a person who is very interested in and knows a lot about a particular field or activity.”
We love this word because it emphasizes learning, curiosity and passion. And what we’ve found since we began this group is that we attract geeks in the truest sense of the word. We can be honest, silly, make mistakes, explore, learn, and educate others because we are supported by a community that understands.
