> We pride ourselves on being nimble and creative.

> If our clients aren't satisfied, neither are we.

> We give our best advice at all times, especially when it's not what a client wants to hear. (That's usually when our advice is most valuable.)

> We take seriously our commitment to the communities in which we work. We regularly donate to community-based and cultural organizations in those geographic areas.

> We are up-front about our activities. We don't take actions that will compromise our clients' ability to sleep well at night. When we communicate with decision makers and community leaders, we disclose that we are serving in an advocacy role. Playing hide-the-ball can doom a project, and we won't pretend something is what it isn't.

> We are accessible. When you contract with Barbary Coast Consulting, our entire team, from top to bottom, is available to our clients.

> We make it a priority to be good team players.

> All those who work at Barbary Coast have the opportunity to earn some ownership of the company. We know that the possibility of ownership means greater commitment and harder work by our employees, so we're putting that theory into practice.

> Our Mission and Values statement:
Barbary Coast is committed to the success of its clients, the fulfillment of its team members, and the vitality of the communities in which we work. Our approach to public affairs is one that values details, anticipates the needs of our clients, and keeps us with one ear to the ground. We approach our work and our philanthropy with a sincere commitment to remain engaged and responsive to the body politic.  We strive to create an internal environment where responsibility is paramount, hard work is rewarded, financial success is shared, and innovation is fostered.  It is with this focus that we hope to bring value to all individuals, organizations, and communities with whom we interact.
