Our Core Values: Rooted in Tradition, Driven by Humanity

Know Good Consulting is a proudly Indigenous-owned business. Our Founder and Lead Know-Goodnik, Conor Tapp, is a proud member of the Métis Nation of Alberta. Growing up in Winnipeg and Calgary, his mother instilled in him the profound, traditional values of community and togetherness.

Throughout his career, Conor has proven that true, radical success doesn’t just happen when values “play a role”—it happens when they are the absolute foundation of the work.

We honor our ancestors by bringing these deep-rooted Indigenous values into modern business strategies. Below are the guiding principles of our practice, presented in Roman Orthography, Cree Syllabics, and English:

Wahkotowin

ᐊᐧᐦᑯᐦᑐᐃᐧᐣ | We are all connected, we are all related.

More than a recognition that we are connected to all living things, it's knowing we can learn from and grow with one another.

Sakihiwewin

ᓴᑭᐦᐃᐁᐧᐃᐧᐣ | Love for everyone. Charity.

The most powerful emotion, love inspires minds and ignites passion. Love can build bridges, tear down walls, and heal wounds.

Mistahimekowin

ᒥᐢᑕᐦᐃᒣᑯᐃᐧᐣ | Generosity.

Generously sharing our knowledge, ideas, passion, stories, time, talent, and philanthropy.

Manâtcihiwewin

ᒪᓈᐟᒋᐦᐃᐁᐧᐃᐧᐣ | Respect.

Equity, consultation, appreciating the value of knowledge and wisdom shared by others.

Nisitihtamowin

ᓂᓯᑎᐦᑕᒧᐃᐧᐣ | Understanding.

Curiosity and questions, and also kindness and wholeness with our answers. Building understanding means being willing to understand.
