Workshop: Walking Your Talk: Defining Your Personal Values (with Emma Nicholson)
Our workshop, which is virtual only, aims to assist participants in aligning their actions with their values—a crucial step toward achieving authenticity.
Understanding and defining personal values is an important component in navigating periods of disintegration and personal growth. It helps us develop an autopsychotherapy plan, and enact changes in our lives to walk our talk, and live more authentically.
In the workshop, we will learn what values are and how they operate, informing our identity and guiding our behaviours and decisions. We will also explore how values can change through disintegration.
Attendees will then participate in some practical exercises to help them articulate their values and develop a personal action plan to embody these values in their daily lives. This includes:
Discovering our drivers and what is important to us
The workshop is designed to be interactive, allowing for personal reflection and group discussion.
