Coffee Inspo #49
It’s been a while, but I’ve been brewing up some thought-provoking new #CoffeeInspo for you. This one’s from adtech and publishing industry veteran Fiona Salmon of Captify®. She and I had a good old natter last week about values and how important these are in everyday interactions with your team and others across a business.
Fiona was talking about how she encourages her teams to get to know their own values well, so they can spot and appreciate when those values are being challenged. If we know what our ‘values triggers’ are, we can look at situations more rationally, rather than reacting purely emotionally, when a potential clash comes up.
This resonated with me and reminded me of some insight I learned from the Reset & Recharge workshop that I attended last year, hosted by Catherine Le Liboux, ACC, CPCC, CPQC and Seeun Choi, MSc, ACC. They took us through a values creation exercise (in case you’re wondering, mine are: Harmony, Humour, Empathy, Optimism and Excellence) and said: ‘If you approach decision making with your core values in mind, what would it look like?’ I really liked this provocation, that you can hold any decision up to your values and see if it matches or clashes and it dovetails nicely with Fi's insight too.
Here’s to value matches! Thanks Fiona for this thoughtful insight and reminder that values matter.
