Values are qualities or characteristics that describe who we are and who we want to be - as facilitators, educators, leaders, and people. When we understand our values and act on them, we are more likely to make a positive impact on ourselves, others, and the world around us. In this session, you’ll engage in hands-on exercises, reflection, and discussion to identify your core values and discover creative ways to take action on them, giving you a new tool to show up as your authentic self in your work and your life in general.
Participants will: • Identify your core values • Discover ways to act on your values • Plan which values you’ll prioritize and how
