Two Truths and a Lie

Honesty is not a core value.

by Vanessa Rodriguez | October 2022

Authenticity, Transformation, Humor, Human.Kind, Connection, Creative-Experimentation, and Wisdom

These are our company values. They are at the forefront of our minds when working with our clients and when we work as a team. They are the foundation that we build our programs on, and what we hope has come through in our conversations with you all. 

One value that isn’t listed is Honesty. Which is great- because this week we are playing TWO TRUTHS AND A LIE!  For those that never had to sit through this classic, albeit grueling, college ice breaker before- here’s how it works: Each person names two facts about themselves and one lie. Everyone else tries to figure out which statement is the lie out of the three.  

Listed below are two truths and a lie about all six of us on the AGC Team! Try to decipher our lies- the first person to get all six correct wins some AGC Swag!
