The Personal Values Compass
A Roadmap for Navigating Leadership with Your Personal Values
Personal Development
What if you could hold a mirror up to your inner self and see exactly what drives you? Imagine understanding why certain things light you up, why others drain you, and how you can use this knowledge to lead in a way that feels effortless, authentic, and powerful.
As a keynote or a masterclass, that’s what this session is all about.
Human values expert, leadership keynote speaker, and 2x best-selling author 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 who they are. They are values-driven.
Before the session, participants are invited to complete the Values Identifier assessment. They receive a comprehensive report that identifies the specific 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 uncovers new ways to lead with purpose, align your team, and foster meaningful collaboration.
