Create Powerful Workplace Culture with Values Storying
Stories inspire, educate and connect us to what is important. Yet most organizations are rich in experience but poor in stories. When people connect through stories, they form a heart-connection and learn one another's points of view. New understanding and empathy act as transformative agents that build trust, align teams, and galvanize staff, leaders and other stakeholders around common goals.
Expect to Learn:
-
The science-based reasons stories shape culture and build authentic community.
-
Methods for creating a storytelling culture in your organization.
-
How companies are using stories for success.

OUR MOST POPULAR WORKSHOP
Align Teams with a Values Declaration
Google's research on their highest-performing teams uncovered the common denominator of their top teams was not skills or education. Instead, it was group norms that built trust. In today’s high-stress environments, your teams cannot rely on unspoken rules to guide how they interact with teammates. Lack of clear communication leads to unmet expectations and creates unnecessary tension on your team. Explicit norms generated collaboratively become a team imperative. They boost team efficiency, trust and alignment.
Expect These Outcomes:
-
Shared norms that help your team align behind agreed upon behaviors and expectations.
-
Greater team cohesion to help your team reach its next level of performance.
-
Greater sense of connection to your teammates.
-
Stories and rituals that bring shared norms to life.
ADDITIONAL WORKSHOPS
Navigating Turbulence
Expect These Outcomes:
-
Insights into how turbulence is affecting your workplace.
-
Understanding of what is most important to you and your teammates.
-
Greater team cohesion to help your team reach its next level of performance.
-
Stories that bring shared team values to life.
To thrive in turbulent conditions, organizations need meaningful shifts in how teams relate to one another. Strengthen your team's ability to move with aligned action to successfully navigate rapidly evolving landscapes by connecting to values.
Teams explore turbulence in their environments, learn the tenants of a values-led management style, and explore implications of personal and organizational values for daily decision-making.
"Alicia's passion for the power of values-led work is infectious! Her session was energizing, fun, even joyful. I left inspired to act. She gave us concrete tools for building a culture of highly-productive, values-led teams."

Create Values-Led Habits
For values to thrive in your life or organization, they need to drive daily behavior. Values flourish when the micro-decisions being made across your organization support your core values.
In this workshop, you learn the skill of mindful action. To move from autopilot to mindful values-led action, you learn to break down key behaviors into micro steps. By bringing your attention to each micro step, you can build new values-led behaviors. Over-time these behaviors become habits.
Expect These Outcomes:
-
Understanding of why values-led habits are critical to successful culture.
-
Knowledge of the science of habits and how to build them.
-
Greater ability to turn off autopilot and lead with values in daily action.
-
Stronger values-led behaviors within your team or organization.
