The core values, when identified and defined, act like a guide in our decision-making process. 

Improving the decision-making and goals-setting processes require a good understanding of the motivating factors which are grounded in the personal core values and the meaning of our actions.  

Likewise, in an organisational setting, when leaders and employees understand and internalise the organisation’s “why”, the “what” and the “how”, they are better aligned with the core purpose of the organisation, are more engaged and productive. 

By understanding the values and the meaning, which are the guiding forces in our lives, individuals are better prepared to take ownership, to initiate and/or embrace change.  

Individuals who want to: 

• gain an in-depth understanding of the psychology of wellbeing to provide a foundation for their meaning and values learning
• gain clarity regarding their life meaning
• identify and assess their core values so they pursue more value-congruent actions
• understand their decision-making process
• find meaning from both the ‘bright’ and ‘dark’ sides of life
• discover what is important to them and how -to live -in line with that 

Organisations who want to: 

• create an atmosphere that promotes well-being and meaningful work and make a direct connection with the bottom line 
• maintain a workplace climate that allows everyone to experience more meaning and feel more fulfilled at the end of each day 
• help employees feel more aligned with the organisation’s core values and core purpose 
• provide practical tools to increase employees’ engagement, productivity, and work satisfaction. 

This is a one-day masterclass, divided in three sessions, covering theory, discussion, and offering practical tools. Topics include: 

• Fundamentals of wellbeing - an in-depth understanding of the field of positive psychology providing a foundation for the Meaning and Values masterclass.
