Overview
The idea of having a core set of values which underpin a team or organisation’s ethos is not new. But very often lip service is paid to them and they become a set of buzz words on the wall or website. This workshop looks at how those professed values can be put into day to day practice and how they might relate to one’s own personal values.
Who is the workshop designed for?
Managers and team members who wish to build team coherence around an agreed set of principles which drive performance and make the workplace a more ethical and enjoyable place to work in. Also for those curious to explore what their own personal values mean for how they might show up in their team or wider organisation.
How will you benefit from attending?
Each participant will gain clarity around their own personal values, explore actions which are consistent with those values and those which are not. We will consider the benefits of having an agreed set of values for your team. You will leave with a better understanding of the behaviours which team members should exhibit to be in alignment with the organisation’s values.

His background is in law, but for the last 15 years he has worked as a mediator, coach, trainer, facilitator and professional actor.

Iain has a number of facilitation and training qualifications: he has trained with Brené Brown to become one of her certified Dare to Lead facilitators, he is a professional Imago facilitator, has undertaken a Diploma level training in Conflict Resolution, Counselling Skills and Group Facilitation and is an NLP-trained coach. Participants at a recent coaching programme were asked to describe Iain in three words which produced this word cloud.
