Values

Back in 2002 when I started Calahan Solutions, Inc. I established a set of values that we would live and work by.

Integrity

Ethical behavior, honesty, and integrity are fundamental characteristics of our conduct in all aspects of our work. Good citizenship is good business. We live up to our responsibility to society by being an economic, intellectual, and social asset to each community in which we do business, and this is critical to developing customer and stakeholder loyalty.

Excellence in Service

It is not about us — it is about our clients. It's about our clients' clients! Our clients are in the service industry, too. The better we help them, the more impact we can have on the world. Our service should be prompt and proactive to provide convenience with a personal touch and with heart. We all are responsible for delivering quality and innovation in our work through personal initiative and continuous development of skills and knowledge, with strong support from the organization. Clients enjoy working with us because we are authentic, we work with integrity, we are practitioners of what we teach, we offer humor, empathy, and compassion, and we teach the art and rhythm of being purpose-driven.

Diversity

Leveraging the talents of our diverse workforce helps us add value for ourselves, our clients, our shareholders, and our communities. Diversity of background, thought, communication styles, and experiences lead to more innovative, longer-lasting solutions. When you hire Calahan Solutions, Inc., you hire an advocate. We do not impose ideas; we discover solutions for each circumstance.

To that end, our service model is also diverse. We provide personalized professional mentoring services. You can involve us as much or as little as you like, from telephone consultations to a general needs assessment to direct partnership.

Because we fully respect that everyone’s needs differ, as we work with private clients, we take proven strategies and customize them for each situation.

Balance

Creating harmony and proportion in our lives with God, family, and career. We understand and respect that when any important aspect of our lives is out of balance, the other aspects of our lives do not function appropriately.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Community

Being a socially responsible firm is a key objective of Calahan Solutions, Inc. The bottom line is that we want to help people. Our business is built on relationships — with our clients, consultants, and communities. So, naturally, we have a special interest in helping people in the communities we serve — especially those who are financially disadvantaged. We believe that our corporate social responsibility should be about addressing issues directly. Our executive leadership team and consultants demonstrate their commitment to providing thought leadership on the latest trends and issues by serving on various boards. We partner with many organizations by offering our subject matter expertise pro bono to help provide services they may not otherwise be able to afford. Each year, we support charities, causes, and initiatives in education, diversity and inclusion, equal rights, and environment, reflecting our belief that true wealth and success go hand in hand with giving back and elevating the world around us.

Collaboration

Teamwork allows each person to be valued and appreciated by others and leverages our talents to serve our clients and each other exceptionally well. We strive for “Win-win” relationships with clients, other employees, business partners, and service providers.

Our extensive resource database will ensure your needs are met. It may seem odd, but we don't believe in competition. If another service provider is the right choice for our clients, we will partner to create the right solution. Our resource partners span the professional areas of accounting, finance, graphic design, ghostwriting, copywriting, personal block clearing, technology, etc.

Financial Responsibility

We believe that financial responsibility and growth are the means to achieve all of our other values and objectives. Making a profit is everyone's responsibility, and balancing long-term and short-term objectives is key to profitability, enabling our vision to be achieved.
