See getting to “yes” as a super-fun challenge! Readily and freely interact with every guest. See guests leave happier than when they arrived. Use positive energy to bring teammates up when they are having a tough day. When you smile, everyone smiles.

Show Up: Show up to work. Be fully present for your teammates, our guests, and our trade partners. Be a reliable, invested member of the team. Bring authentic, positive energy to work every day. Deep down care.
“What can I do?”: Say "What can I do?" and "How can I help?" because the collective goal of the team and the store is bigger than the task at hand. Anticipate the needs of your coworkers and the guests and be proactive in helping others.
Come with a solution: Have a keen eye for identifying pain points in our systems, but always come to the table with a solution to offer. Think outside the box, be creative in solving problems, and adapt to change with grace. Always speak up and let us know what you need!
Own it: Hold yourself accountable and be accountable to your teammates. When there is an issue, ask yourself, “What can I do to help fix it?” When there is success, celebrate! Details matter, and be attentive to all of them.

Reflect deeply on feedback by frequently looking inward and evaluating your own performance at HL. Be personally fulfilled by helping others grow and love taking on new challenges and new opportunities to learn.
