We take our values and culture beyond the workplace and into the community. Named from The Lake Isle of Innisfree poem, THE HIVE is our outreach program and was created for our team to be leaders in doing good for the world.

Welcome to the Cooperative Mode! Free tools to help you in the workplace and with your family . Each tool must be studied and practiced with intention if we are to be successful in actualizing its transformative power. No Power Plays A power play is the desire to impose the will of one person over another by attempting to force someone to do something the person basically doesn’t want to do or is not ready to do. No Rescues A rescue is doing something for others that they can easily do for themselves. While a rescue can occur because a team member expects assistance, or asks for help, rescues can also occur when the team member has no expectation of receiving help. Whether you voluntarily provide a rescue, or a team member asks you for help, rescues can damage the relationship. No Secrets or Lies Keeping secrets, telling lies, and withholding information jeopardize trust and damage relationships. These behaviors are detrimental to building an inclusive work environment and can lead to lack of trust in the workplace. Being Accountable Acknowledging that you have made a mistake, taking ownership of the mistake and taking the steps necessary to find a solution, demonstrate what it means to be accountable. If the mistake cannot be corrected, you learn from the situation and choose an alternative course of action under similar circumstances going forward. Give Strokes Often Strokes (affirmations/compliments) are freely exchanged statements that acknowledge and recognize others, making team members feel understood, valued, and noticed. When you affirm the importance of others, you help build and strengthen relationships. The giving of positive affirmations is critical to the success of cooperative environments. Inclusion The intentional act of fostering a work environment where every team member feels as though they belong, their voices are heard and their opinions matter. Remember, it hurts to feel left out or ignored. Checking Out Paranoid Fantasies Paranoia is distrust of an individual or group based only on your feeling-it is about what you think others are thinking, without any proof. When you have suspicions about the intentions of behaviors of others, check out your feelings with the individual or group before jumping to conclusions. By checking out your paranoid fantasies, you can identify, reduce, or eliminate your suspicions. Sharing A Resentment A resentment is a negative feeling toward an individual or group, that you feel, treated you poorly or unjustly. When you hold on to resentment, negative feelings can fester and grow. Rather than holding on to the resentment, share that resentment with the person or group involved. In cooperative work environments, you should not fear judgment or retaliation. When you release the pent-up negative feelings, the relationship can be restored to one of mutual love, sharing, and trust. A team member may respond no to your request to share a resentment.” Should this happen, you might want to check in again later. Confidentiality Confidentiality offers protection that information about the feelings or experiences of someone else will not be shared unless the person gives you permission to do so. Keeping conversations private creates a safe and caring environment for everyone.

The Hive Foundation congratulates and celebrates Sasha Daneva, recipient of the first-ever A. Jack Guillebeaux Legacy Award. We are proud to recognize Sasha, Assistant General Manager at Holiday Inn Resort Pensacola Beach, as the inaugural honoree of this award created to celebrate Innisfree team members who embody the spirit, values, and lasting impact of Arbury “Jack” Guillebeaux. Sasha was selected from a group of fourteen nominees. Jack’s legacy is rooted in service, humility, and a deep commitment to people. He believed in lifting others, creating space for every voice, and leading with integrity – even when no one was watching. His work strengthened teams, shaped cultures, and reminded us that leadership is ultimately about how we treat one another. Sasha carries that legacy forward each day. She leads with empathy, creates spaces where people feel valued and heard, and supports the growth of those around her with encouragement and care. Her steady leadership, quiet strength, and unwavering integrity reflect the very heart of Jack’s example. Please join us in congratulating Sasha Daneva. Her impact honors Jack’s memory and lights the path for those who follow.
