Map Your Values: Connect & Collaborate

Editor's Notes

  • #3 I’ll be your guide on our adventure today
  • #5 Put your hand up if you’re missing anything.
  • #6 To give some context on values, let me tell you a quick story.
  • #7 20 years ago… I was the guy who posted this up in meeting rooms A bit skeptical, you might say
  • #8 15 years ago, I tried to introduce Agile + XP ideas to Multimap and hit a brick wall The ideas took, but only after 4 years, and I wasn’t around anymore It did prompt me to start searching for answers.
  • #9 I read Kotter, which helped me introduce Agile + XP ideas to NAP successfully. We created 2 new businesses And a DevOps team! :) Things were going well - money, family, house, etc.
  • #10 But I was still missing something. Kotter was not enough. I didn’t consciously understand what was important to me. Even worse, I walked all over what was important to others
  • #11 People get upset. When you don’t understand, you’re not equipped to deal with others properly. It’s only a matter of time.
  • #12 2 years ago, I met my coach, Tony Piper.
  • #13 1 year ago, we did our first Strengths and Values sessions It helped fill in gaps I hadn’t realised were missing. Sure, I’d thought about this kind of stuff before. Doing it with someone else made it more real. Communicating it. Feeling understood. Adjusting until it felt right.
  • #15 So, they are deeply connected to your emotions. You can’t separate them.
  • #17 Values = anchors. Buoys = behaviours. The line that connects them = attitudes Really important As the winds change and tide shifts, the buoy moves around But there’s a limited range If the line breaks: Your behaviours can drift unguided Leaving you feeling lost. Or doing things that conflict with your values There are situations when your values conflict with one another And you have to choose between the two Desired behaviours, others impose You can adopt, but may not be your preferred behaviours Boss: Be on time for meetings Child: Let me watch something!
  • #19 Boils down to EI. Understanding your values, attitudes, and behaviours Enables you to live by them, and deal with internal conflict better. Less grumpy cat Understanding other’s values, attitudes, and behaviours Means less angry cats You can behave in accordance with your values ------------------------------- Self Awareness. How many of you have had negative thoughts before? Did you know that simply labelling them can help you overcome them? Being aware of your emotional state is where it all starts. Understanding your values can give you the words to do that. Self Regulation Once you’re aware of how Empathy Understand the feelings of others People Skills Better equipped to people Skills
  • #22 People I know have changed jobs after realising their values are in direct conflict with their role or their company’s values. Sitting next to your boss? ;-) Sharing, may feel uncomfortable YOU are in control. Choose what to share, and what to keep private. Feel free to stop, and simply observe at any time. There’s potential for conflict That’s why we have 3 rules
  • #27 If you don’t finish creating your groups, DON’T WORRY.
  • #29 It’s ok if you don’t notice patterns.
  • #32 We’re going to split into pairs.
  • #34 What’s with the chinese symbol?
  • #37 At least 3 cards
  • #39 Try not to touch your partner’s cards, without permission. Use a piece of paper to cover the card.
  • #41 Swap partners?
  • #42 Timebox: 5 min
  • #45 I challenge you to Notice.
  • #46 There are biological reasons for all of this. The Limbic System is often thought of as the emotion centre. It operates much more quickly than our higher-level cognitive functions. 80ms vs ~600ms Mention Robert Sapolsky? If you want to learn some mind boggling things about evolutionary biology, epigenetics, and how it governs our behaviour, check this guy out.
  • #47 It’s a spectrum, not black & white. You’ll find there’s a natural order for you. Everybody’s is different. If you find you lack an emotional response to one of your values, consider whether or not it is extrinsically or intrinsically motivated.
  • #48 For example: I value money but only because it is instrumental in fulfilling my core values It’s more complex than that, as what you value can change in different situations. It’s all about how you apply them
  • #52 Conflict with work
  • #53 Swap partners?
  • #54 Conflict with work
  • #55 Swap partners?
  • #56 Excluded
  • #57 Swap partners?
  • #58 Excluded
  • #59 Swap partners?
  • #61 Swap partners?
  • #66 To consider this, you may want to use scenarios. Competing demands on your team Making day-to-day work fun and enjoyable Creating safety, for your teams and clients
  • #67 The cards are yours to take, if you wish You can use these techniques in your teams at work I hope you’ve learned something you can take away with you today! Q&A
