Who am I?

My name is Westley Winks. I try to live my life with integrity by committing to these core values, even when it's uncomfortable:

  • Learning humbly. Pursuing and practicing new skills and knowledge that serve my goals, my interests, and other people. Doing it humbly means embracing a beginner's mindset, admitting when I am wrong or don't know, and understanding that I can always learn something from others.
  • Serving compassionately and reliably. Helping others, supporting them and nurturing their growth when and how they need it. Doing it compassionately means leading with empathy, taking care of myself, and remaining other-focused rather than transactional. Being reliable is continually building trust with myself and others that I will do what I say I'm going to do.
  • Connecting authentically. Investing in meaningful relationships while participating in and adding value to important things that are larger than myself. Being authentic means choosing truth over performance, not sacrificing my values or identity to fit in, and being my true self in any engagement with myself or others.
