Please note: As this is a masterclass we encourage you to be fully present and turn your camera on if possible. Our masterclasses are interactive and collaborative; therefore they may include breakout sessions for delegates to participate in smaller groups.

More than ever, people are looking for a way to find purpose in their work and lives. One way of connecting with our purpose is to identify and better understand our core values, so we can take purposeful action, feel more motivated and engaged in our work and life, and find a way to thrive and flourish in the face of increasing demands, rapid change and ambiguity.

Focusing on values can reduce anxiety, reduce our physiological responses to stress, reduce the personal impact of the judgements of others, and help us to be more open to information we may find hard to accept. Being disconnected from our values at work can lead to us feeling demotivated, uninspired and de-energised. Not only is this detrimental to our own way of being, but also to the people we live and work with.

It can be difficult to honour our values at times – in this session, we will explore the ways in which you can identify and re-connect with your own values, accept and commit to living a values-based life and move away from the old habits and ways of being that keep us trapped.

This session will help you:

• understand what it means to live a values-based life
• identify and work with your values, acknowledging the difficulties we might face
• with strategies to accept, commit to and honour your values
• recognise the positive impact of values-based living in the workplace

For individuals looking to live a more values-based life at home and at work. For leaders and managers looking for ways to reconnect with their teams in a meaningful way and for those who want to increase their own and/or their team’s sense of well being, motivation and energy by connecting to what really matters.
