Featured method:
Working with values

This is a warm invitation to kick off a new series of our Theory and Practice talks in which we will introduce, try out and discuss one method at a time. We start with a particularly powerful one: Working with values.

“Values are like fingerprints, nobody's are the same, but you leave them all over everything you do.”

Elvis Presley

If we talk about values in relation to the IDGs, I guess the entry point is 'transparency':

"To make progress on shared concerns, we need to develop our abilities to include, hold space and communicate with stakeholders with different values, skills and competencies."

Inner Development Goal set no. 4, Collaborating and social skills

Our values are obvious and transparent. Right?
And all stakeholders are behind the important ones. Right?
How do you know that? Or, how do you make it happen?
Let's try out a simple method and then discuss what it means: to be transparent about values, not only as a way to handle conflicts but also as a way to create trust and hold space for communication.

This Theory and Practice Talk is led by Marilyn Mehlmann from legacy17. She has been working with values for over half a century now and the method is still fresh and new.
