Our Purpose
Character First! helps people see the value of good character...so they can build better workplaces and communities.
Our Story
Character First! began in 1992 at Kimray, Inc., an Oklahoma City-based manufacturing company with more than 500 employees. In less than two years, Kimray's Worker's Compensation costs decreased 80%, and they experienced a 25% increase in profits, even though the market was depressed.
Other companies heard about what Kimray was doing, and Character First! spread around the United States and the world, helping individuals, corporations, schools, government agencies, and families in more than 27 countries and 11 languages.
Our Approach
Character First! is a leadership development program based on character that is delivered many ways—training seminars, books, magazines, curriculum, email—that focus on real-life issues at work, school, home, and the community.
Our materials describe good character and talk about the attitudes a person needs in order to improve relationships and make ethical choices. This vocabulary helps colleagues challenge and applaud one another for good character.
