Event Description

Title
Guided by Our Values: Value-Driven Leadership and Intentional Workplace Culture

Presenter
Chris Wallace Caldwell, MA, President, Catalysis LLC

As nonprofit leaders we often talk about being value-driven. And we often (but not always) have a set of organizational values. But how do we use and lean into our values to help us make decisions, work through dilemmas, and create the workplace culture we truly want? What would it look like if we set out to create a workplace culture that helps us all feel a sense of belonging and bring our best work? This is becoming even more critical as our workspaces respond to changes brought on by the pandemic, reckonings with systemic racism and social inequities, and shifts in how we approach work life balance.

This workshop is for leaders who want to operationalize what it means to be “value-driven” and who are ready to create an intentional approach to workplace culture. Whether or not you already have a set of well-used values or are starting from scratch, we will explore how we can put our values into practical action. Using our values, we will dive into the ways workplace culture is created, what aspects may be conscious or unconscious, and how we can be more intentional in creating the workplace culture that aligns with the change we want to see in the world.
