EXPLORE FATHOM'S
PRINCIPLES
Principles aren't just guidelines; they're the cornerstone of your Personal Leadership Philosophy. Whether you’re at work, home, or in the community, your Principles dictate how you interact with the world. At Fathom, we help you build these Principles through a well-defined framework, allowing you to clearly articulate what drives your decision-making process and shapes your unique leadership style.
YOUR JOURNEY,
YOUR RULES
Fathom's Leadership Principles are not one-size-fits-all. They reflect our core values, like courage and commitment, and serve as a starting point to help you forge your own leadership path. We're here to engage, energise, and empower you, not to set rigid guidelines.
INTRODUCING THE
PRINCIPLES MODEL
Not all principles will resonate with you, and that's okay. The Fathom Model aims to give you the tools to discover or affirm your own guiding rules. It breaks down into four key areas:
Values: The core ideals that you live by.
Beliefs: The lens through which you see the world.
Traits: The characteristics that influence your actions.
Strengths: Your inherent abilities and skills.
If you find that Fathom's Principles aren't in sync with you, use that awareness to define what does resonate. Ask yourself, 'What are the Personal Leadership Principles that I choose to live by?'

As you read through the Principles, take a moment to notice which of them resonate most strongly with your values and needs...
PRESENCE
When you feel the urge to act, first consider your desired outcome & how it can be achieved. Notice if the impact you have is as intended, before deciding how to act next.

ACT WITH INTENTION & NOTICE YOUR IMPACT
Take time to look after and serve your own needs, so that you can be at your best when the time comes to look after and be of service to others.
PRINCIPLE 002
BALANCE SELF-CARE & SERVICE TO OTHERS
The decisions you make and actions you take today will either benefit or harm your future self. You're writing your own history each and every day, so be sure to give gifts not curses.

BE A FRIEND TO YOUR FUTURE SELF

LET GO OF THE PAST & OPTIMISE THE FUTURE
