In today’s fast-paced and uncertain work environment, having a clear sense of direction and a strong team connection is essential. Vision, mission, and values often get dismissed as superficial. When they are created for image rather than impact and never applied, they often are. But when developed intentionally and integrated into daily work, they become powerful tools that anchor your team, shape culture, and provide the clarity needed for cohesive, meaningful work.
This two-hour working session will guide your team through what vision, mission, and values are (and are not), why they matter, and how to make them truly useful in your day-to-day work. You’ll learn how to create strong, meaningful statements and avoid the common pitfalls that often make them forgettable, generic, or misaligned.
What You’ll Cover:
- What vision, mission, and values are and how they work together
- How well-defined values build team connection, drive performance, and shape culture
- Practical guidelines for creating VMV statements that guide your work
- How to apply values to everyday decisions, team interactions, and growth
- Tools and worksheets to help collaboratively define your vision, mission, and values
