How to define your values and live by them in the modern workforce

AWA/IWA Australia-New Zealand YWP Conference 2022

Patrick Schnelle & Matthew Schnelle

Clients, businesses and individuals are increasingly sought out for values-driven ways of working. To successfully navigate the modern workforce, young water professionals (YWPs) need to clearly identify and articulate personal values, navigate value conflicts and use shared values to achieve common goals. During the workshop, YWPs gained understanding and skills in values driven ways of working to ‘leave their mark’. Outcomes for workshop participants included:

1. understanding what values are and their importance in the modern workforce, and
2. identifying key personal values and understanding how these drive actions and beliefs.
