SKY POINT'S STORY: A CAPACITY TO LOVE
The founders of Sky Point Social Services, Francis and Dana Jomo, are quite accomplished. They are well-educated, have several years experience in social services, and started their own business. According to the Jomos, these achievements only carry importance when paired with one major component--the capacity to love.
As foster parents and guardians for individuals with disabilities, the Jomos place a strong emphasis on family. When asked about what inspired them to start Sky Point, Francis didn’t hesitate in replying, “I wanted to start a company that I would feel comfortable sending my child to. There is no shortage of providers, but finding one that puts the client’s needs first can be a challenge and that is what we strive to do. For us, this is about quality of care over everything else.”
According to Dana, the driving force for the company is “the capacity to love.” It’s a basic human need that everyone is capable of giving and receiving. For the Jomo family, watching Sky Point’s clients flourish is a gift of love for all involved. “Whether it’s them getting a job, or a nice new place to live, or learning a new skill, the little things that somebody else might take for granted mean so much to our clients. It is our greatest joy to help them succeed.”
The Jomo's philosophy is one that encourages both staff and clients to think outside the box. Francis stated, “We want our clients to be seen for their abilities, not their disabilities. We want them to know they can reach their dreams. That’s why our motto is ‘The Sky is the Limit.’ Their disability is not their definition.”
At Sky Point, RELATIONSHIPS are at the heart of everything we do. We believe that strong and genuine connections with our employees, clients, and partners are the key to a successful business. Building trust and cultivating meaningful relationships allows us to collaborate better, understand each other's perspectives, and achieve common goals. Our commitment to nurturing these relationships goes beyond business transactions; it extends into creating a supportive and inclusive work culture where everyone feels valued and respected.
EMPOWERMENT is another core value that drives our organization. We believe in giving our employees the autonomy and resources they need to excel in their roles. We create an environment where innovation thrives by empowering individuals to make decisions, take risks, and explore new ideas. We encourage open communication channels that foster creativity and initiative amongst our team members. At Sky Point, empowerment means investing in personal growth through training programs, mentorship opportunities, and providing ongoing support for career development.
AUTHENTICITY is another value that shapes every aspect of our company's operations. We believe in always being true to ourselves and staying aligned with our values. This commitment extends beyond outward appearances; it filters into how we engage with others and conduct business ethically. Clients can always count on honest advice from us because we genuinely care about their success rather than solely focusing on profit margins.
If you come to Sky Point, you will quickly learn that CONTINOUS IMPROVEMENT is more than just a buzzword – it's ingrained in our company culture. We believe that there is always room for growth and development, both individually and as an organization. By embracing this value, we encourage each team member to challenge themselves, seek new knowledge and skills, and strive for excellence in everything they do. This commitment to continuous improvement enhances our overall performance and cultivates a sense of innovation and adaptability within the company.
Last but not least, we value HUMILITY. We understand that no one person has all the answers or possesses all the skills necessary for success. Humility allows us to recognize our own limitations while valuing and respecting the contributions of others. It fosters an environment where collaboration, open dialogue, and learning from mistakes become foundational pillars of our work ethos. By staying humble, we can actively seek feedback from colleagues and clients alike, knowing that their perspectives are valuable sources of insight that can help us grow personally and professionally.
These core values enable us to stay ahead of the curve in an ever-evolving world while maintaining a strong sense of integrity and respect for those around us.
