The Personal Values &
Leadership Session
Uncover how to use the specific values that make you who you are, to be the best leader you can be.
Personal Values & Leadership
What if you could hold a mirror up to your inner-self and see what drives you? When you know your values, you can see why some things light you up and others drain you, and how to use this knowledge to lead in a way that feels effortless and authentic.
This session – presented as a masterclass or keynote – shows you how to be the very best version of yourself that you can be.
With hundreds-of-millions of data points, David Allison has turned human values into accurate empirical data. And now he is turning the values spotlight on you.
Being an effective leader is easy when you know what your values are. You can lean into your strengths and recognize your blind spots. Most importantly, you can be the most potent and authentic version of yourself, and lead with the intense clarity that comes from knowing who you are.
The most effective leaders know themselves. They are values-driven.
Before this session, participants are invited to complete the Values Identifier assessment. They receive a comprehensive report that identifies the values that drive their decisions, behaviors, and beliefs as a leader.
David will show everyone how to use this powerful self-knowledge as a LEADERSHIP COMPASS. Understanding how your values influence your actions shows you how to lead purposefully, align with your team, and create meaningful collaboration.
