We have all or individual relation and understanding of different values like Power, Freedom, Loyalty, Care and Quality. This very individual relationship to the values, will be expressed in the way to communicate, lead, build team, create results, solve conflicts etc. By understanding your own relationship with profound values you will stand stronger in your personal brand and you will be able to build teams, which are standing shoulder by shoulder and supporting important values from the same perspective. In this workshop you will get a deeper understanding of your own values and why you sometimes succeed with building powerful teams, and why it at other times is more difficult

Your personal and professional outcome:

• You will investigate your own personal relationship with values like Power, Freedom, Loyalty, Care and Quality. By investigating these values you will get a deeper understanding of the inner power and inner conflicts between your values and how to express your values as a leader.

• You will work with value-hierarchies and learn about your inner organization of values, while also getting ideas on how to use the value-work within your team.

• You will explore a special designed communication tool for exploring and working with values.

Instead you can build a higher awareness about the values, understanding the inner power and conflict between values and build new skills and cultures supporting the most essential and beneficial values.
