Storytelling and values
Training course
What are values and how do we create meaningful change using insights from values dynamics? The values we hold shape not only our behaviours, our attitudes and how we relate to others, but they shape how we think. Understanding what values are, how they work, and how to create the right dynamics, through storytelling methodologies, to reshape the flow of values, is a specialist form of training.
What you will learn?
On this training programme you will learn the following:
- What values are and how the relate to each other
- We will explore different ways of working with values, and how to work with values through the mindset of a storyteller.
- Exploring the dynamic tensions held between intrinsic and extrinsic value groups
- Understand the shifting nature of values depending on the context and purpose you use them
- How to use values to create powerful metanarratives
Is this training for me?
It is hard to imagine how to do meaningful storytelling without understanding the nature of values. Values shape our attitudes and behaviours, shape how we think, how we relate to others, as well as the natural world. If you are seeking to create pro-social or pro-environmental behaviours, then developing, what we call, values-ception, the ability to see and interpret values around you, is an essential aspect of becoming a storyteller.
Why are we exploring values on a storytelling training course?
There are many influences on our values, including cultural norms, life experiences, media, marketing, the education we receive, our family upbringing, and so on. But so often in values theory we neglect one of the most powerful influences on our values, which is the metanarratives that shape how we relate to the world around us. Metanarratives are implicit by their very nature, and how we work with them is through an approach called Master Storytelling. If we are to change the metanarratives that shape our lives, then understanding values dynamics remains a core aspect and necessary aspect of our training.
To understand values we have to understand flow. The important question is not 'What values do we hold?', but rather 'What are our values in service to?'
