MINERVA PRINCIPLES

How We Work

We create a flywheel of magnetism. We work with joy, confidence, inclusivity, creativity, and passion. This attracts energy, stellar colleagues, and outstanding clients. Like a magnet, we trust that our principles, style, and uniqueness will repel organizations that do not appreciate our values. This magnetism is a daily practice and our most important work.

What our clients say

The Minerva Strategies team has been an invaluable partner in a challenging yet exciting time for our organization. Closing a $13.9M capital campaign during a pandemic presented definite obstacles. Their communications guidance and support have been instrumental! They expertly helped us share the story of our new home and our operational pivots during a time of increased need and challenges. In addition, they provided critical assistance shaping our brand update.

EQUITY STATEMENT

Our Commitment to Equity

We are dedicated to building a society where racism, sexism, classism, ableism, homophobia, and their ugly manifestations are replaced by empathy, compassion, and a celebration of our shared humanity. The Minerva team understands that unrecognized bias in our thinking can perpetuate inequitable systems of power. We constantly challenge ourselves to root out these biases. Our team values diverse thought, life experiences, and heritages. We ensure that all voices are heard and seek constructive criticism. We strive to bring in people and partners who can add perspective to our work and we collaborate with clients who embrace equitable practices and processes.

Dismantling White supremacy and creating an equitable world is hard work. Minerva the warrior goddess says: bring it on.
