Welcome to the HISH Community!
Below you will find our guiding principles that describe how we act as HISH community members.
1. Respect for Others Every member of HISH is expected to treat fellow members, collaborators, and clients with respect. Discriminatory or harassing behavior based on any form of self-identity, including ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or social status is not tolerated. We are a professional, business community and expect our community to practice accordingly.
2. Constructive Engagement Members are encouraged to contribute constructively to discussions and activities. We value diverse perspectives and believe in healthy, respectful debates that drive progress. Always listen with an open mind and engage thoughtfully, while acknowledging and modeling inclusive behavior.
3. Commitment to Growth We are a learning community. Each member is expected to remain committed to their personal and professional growth, actively seeking opportunities to expand their skill set and knowledge, and sharing what they learn with others. We emphasize a pay-it-forward approach, that is service-oriented and focused on value creation.
4. Upholding Integrity HISH’s foundation is Trust , and our community values integrity in all business practices. Members are expected to act ethically in their ventures, maintaining fairness, honesty, and responsibility when interacting with customers, partners, and colleagues.
5. Zero Tolerance for Exploitation HISH does not condone exploitative practices, whether of labor, resources, or intellectual property. Members must strive to create value in a manner that respects the dignity and rights of others.
6. Participation and Engagement Community members are expected to actively engage in HISH activities, whether it's through forums, workshops, or collaborative projects. This involvement is essential to building the supportive, connected ecosystem we envision.
7. Confidentiality To foster trust, all members must respect the confidentiality of shared business ideas, personal information, and intellectual property. Breaching this trust undermines the integrity of the community.
