Introducing the CIC Pledge: Because Who You Are Matters Most

DR Rawson • July 15, 2025

Take the CIC Pledge

In a world that’s constantly changing, one thing never goes out of style — Character. Integrity. Credibility.


These aren’t just words. They’re the foundation of trust, leadership, and legacy. But here’s the truth: they don’t happen by accident. They’re built — daily, intentionally — through choices we make when no one’s watching.


That’s why we created the CIC Pledge — a personal and professional commitment to live with Character, Integrity, and Credibility.

It’s a reminder that becoming a person of principle isn’t a destination — it’s a journey.

🔸 Your character is your compass.

🔸 Integrity is how you stay true to it.

🔸 Credibility is what others see in you when you do.


The CIC movement started with our work at TinyTales LLC, where we’ve spent years helping children understand the power of character through storytelling.

But the more we taught kids, the more we realized something important:

It’s not just children who need these lessons. Adults do too.

That understanding sparked the CIC Challenge — a new initiative to help adults lead with values, build trust, and live lives that others can count on.


When you take the CIC Pledge at YourCharacterCounts.com, you’ll receive:

Ö     A digital CIC badge to display in your email, website, or documents

Ö     A printable certificate to remind you — and others — of your promise

Ö     Access to stories, tools, and a growing community built on shared values

We’re here to support your growth — not with rules or judgment, but with encouragement, clarity, and character-driven content that reminds you of who you really are.


If you believe in doing what’s right — even when it’s hard —

If you believe your values matter more than your title —

If you want to live with more purpose, consistency, and courage —

Then the CIC Pledge is for you.

Let’s build something that lasts.

Let’s lead with character.


Until next time,
