Glossary of terms

  1. The Lifespark Way is a culture, an approach, and mindset to your career, and if one so chooses, your life.

  2. Values are stable, long-lasting principles that shape our work and “spark” us to do our best. They are a pair of lenses we choose to wear each day — a guide to navigate The Lifespark Way.

    Our Lifespark Values:

    WE SEEK the spark
    WE DO the right thing
    WE LEAD with purpose
    WE FIND a way
    WE EXCEED expectations

  3. The Spark Path is an intentional process that involves finding a Spark Partner and setting a Spark Goal to discuss with your Manager at a regular cadence.

  4. Your Spark Partner is someone you connect with to be your committed listener and help you set your Spark Goal. Often a peer that is not a part of your day-to-day team.

  5. You Spark Goal is something that you are passionate about and really sparks you.

    Spark Goal Examples:
    • Mentor someone
    • Become more mindful
    • Improve focus
    • Master a certain skill
    • Foster a more positive mindset
    • Become inspirational to others
    • Overcome procrastination
    • Develop communication skills
    • Grow and give EVERYDAY

  6. Your Connection Cadence is the rate at which you meet with your manager or supervisor over the course of a year.

    Like the rhythm of music — together you’re create something to be proud of with consistent attention.

  7. Check-Ins are fast and intentional connections that hold the months together, focused on maintaining the best effort, increase clarity and recognize effectiveness.

  8. Coaching Conversations are regular check-ins with your manager that are structured on four key topics:

    1- Getting Personal
    2- Core Values
    3- Shop Talk
    4- Your Spark Goal

  9. Performance Reviews are a yearly, documented conversation aimed to revisit role expectations, orientation to company initiatives, and set the course for the year to come.
