Values

Understanding what you stand for, and whether it shows up in how you work.

Values shape how we work, how we make decisions, and what we're willing to stand for under pressure. This session explores what personal and professional values actually are, how to identify your own, and how to close the gap between the values you hold and how you behave day to day. Participants leave with greater self-awareness and a practical tool they can use immediately.

What you leave with

Three things that change in the room.

one

Understand what values actually are and how they shape behaviour, decisions, and working relationships

two

Reflect on your own values and identify where they are most and least visible in how you work

three

Leave with a clear articulation of your values and the specific behaviours that bring them to life

About the session

Most people have a strong sense of what they value. Fewer can articulate it clearly enough to act on it.

Most people have a strong sense of what they value. Fewer can articulate it clearly enough to act on it.

Values are often treated as abstract principles: admirable ideas with little practical application. This session approaches them differently. It starts with a clear account of what values actually are and how they work, then moves into honest reflection on the gap between values held and values lived.

The session works best when participants are willing to be specific. That means naming real situations, examining real behaviour, and being honest about where values tend to disappear under pressure. The result is self-knowledge that is genuinely useful.

Who it's for

Built for people who want their values to show up in how they work.

Individuals seeking clarity

Anyone who wants to name their values and close the gap between what they hold and how they behave. The session works best when people get specific.

Leadership and culture programmes

A standalone session or part of a wider programme. Naming values clearly is the foundation for the operating practices that bring them to life.

TESTIMONIAL
“Creative Huddle worked with us to decipher the National Space Centre’s values. They facilitated group storytelling workshops and created bespoke resources for us. They asked the right questions throughout the whole process, and our team found them very easy to work with. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Creative Huddle. Their input was impartial, insightful and extremely valuable.”
