Episode 18: Tapping Into the Power of Values in Your Organizations & Communities

In this episode, we'll talk about the importance of understanding what truly matters to people, dig deep on people's core beliefs that drive their actions and decisions, and explore how asking a simple question, "What's important to you and why?" can unlock meaningful conversations and connections. Tune in as we learn how values influence our lives and relationships, and why listening for them can make all the difference. Get to the root of what motivates others and how values shape their behavior with me. 

 

Key Takeaways: 

• Values at the Core - Values are the basic principles that drive us deeply. When we talk about values, we're not just referring to surface-level preferences or temporary interests but what truly motivates us, shapes our beliefs, influences our attitudes, and guides our actions. 
• Surface Values vs. Core Values - Surface values are the goals and aspirations that we often prioritize in our daily lives. Core values, on the other hand, are the fundamental beliefs and principles that drive our behaviors and decisions at a deeper level. 
• The Power of Caring - Knowledge alone is insufficient to build meaningful connections unless it is coupled with a genuine interest in the values and motivations of others. By understanding and speaking to these values, we not only show that we care but also tap into what truly drives and inspires people. 
• How Life's Milestones Transform Our Values - Values are the compass that guides us through life, but they are not fixed points. It is essential to recognize that our values will evolve as we encounter new experiences and face different challenges. 

 

Helpful Resource: 

• Understanding the "Why" Behind People’s Values - Transparent discussions make a lasting impact by exploring the deeper reasons behind individuals' values, revealing not just what matters to them, but why it matters deeply.  

• Listen for the Common Values - In our divided world, finding common ground can seem impossible. Yet, one simple question can bridge the gap: "What's important to you and why?" 

 

Notable Highlights: 

"Much of what motivates us to speak, do, and act the way we do is coming from deeper core values and they get formed early in life." 

"When you're speaking into their values, you're speaking into what motivates them."
