This video, and the attached facilitator's guide, should give you what you need to lead this course effectively with a group of people. While you can take this course alone, we think taking it with two or more people is far more beneficial.
Our values are an expression of both who we are and who we aspire to be. They are guideposts that illuminate our way and keep us honest as we strive to make a positive impact. This course will help you identify your individual core values, discuss the importance of team values, and provide direction for how to live out your values both individually and as a team.
In this course, you'll get an assessment, activities, stories and illustrations, and a next steps guide.
