In general, people are highly motivated to act in ways that express their values. If they are for some external reasons forced to act against their values, this will impact their well-being and motivation negatively. Therefore, understanding each other’s values is important in the mentor/mentee relationship to create a healthy and respectful approach to each other and a solid foundation for learning from and with each other. Likewise, awareness of your own values, and being consistent and transparent around them will contribute to greater acceptance and appreciation among employees and will lubricate the social fabric within the organisation.

This masterclass will provide mentors with insight into their own core values as well as an approach to help their mentees identify their own values and how these values influence their perception of themselves, their decisions and their behaviours.

What you will gain from this masterclass:

• Increased understanding of values and the different kinds of values.
• Opportunity to explore the link between values and behaviours.
• Identify your own core values and their practical applications in a 5 step process.
• Confidence to apply the learning with own mentee and direct reports.

Format and time to complete: This masterclass includes prework (an e-learning module) of approx. 30 minutes and an online workshop of 2 hours, with presentation, plenary discussion and breakouts.
