<p> Dartmouth L.A.B. Session 2: Leadership from Within, Part II (Individual Values) Facilitator Training Packet 13 October 2014</p><p>Objective: By the end of this session, participants will be able to articulate their core values and understand how to translate them into behavior. ● (1) Assess how values and attitudes translate to behavior. ● (2) Articulate core values and understand how to uphold them in an authentic way. ● (3) Define integrity and discover what keeping their word means to them. </p><p>Session Outline: Estimated Description Time Required </p><p>20 minutes Dinner (eat and mingle) (ALL) Opening remarks – program introduction (Austin) ● Discuss personal individual values and priorities. ● Values are often not personal -- they are rooted in our family and upbringing (context-dependent).</p><p>5 minutes Icebreaker: Share one of your role models. Describe his or her core values.</p><p>25 minutes Bridge Activity Tie-in: Share your top three individual values (beforehand, have arranged them in terms of importance and chosen top 3) with a neighbor. Offer context as to why certain values are prioritized over others (Facilitator provides initial example). ● As you are comfortable, share your thoughts on why you selected the values you did, keeping in mind that your partner may have a very different list. ● What people or experiences have shaped your lists? ● Were there some items that were easier to select than others? Why?</p><p>20 minutes ● Take five minutes to find the antonym of your top three core values. Reflect on a time when you acted according to one of these antonyms -- share with a neighbor and discuss with the group. ○ Reflection question: How do times when we do not act according to our values shed light on what we value? What causes situations/decisions in which our attitudes/values and behaviors are not aligned?</p><p>10 minutes Writing Activity: Write down your entire schedule from this past weekend (Saturday and Sunday) -- think about events, activities and interactions (i.e. study groups, time spent with friends, etc.)</p><p>25 minutes Discussion: ● Did any of your individual values play a role in your schedule (activities, interactions, etc.)? When? ● Do you think about your values every day? Why/why not?</p><p>Share quote to prompt discussion: “Living with integrity means: (1) Not settling for less than what you know you deserve in your relationships. (2) Asking for what you want and need from others. Dartmouth L.A.B. Session 2: Leadership from Within, Part II (Individual Values) Facilitator Training Packet 13 October 2014 (3) Speaking your truth, even though it might create conflict or tension. (4) Behaving in ways that are in harmony with your personal values. (5) Making choices based on what you believe, and not what others believe.” ― Barbara De Angelis ● Pick one of these components of “living with integrity.” Discuss, with a partner, a moment in which you either did or did not live up to this standard. </p><p>● Takeaway: Living with integrity means keeping your word. ● Takeaway: It is not always wrong to be incongruent. Congruence should be a goal we strive to achieve.</p><p>5 minutes Segue: In this quote, we see the components of “relationships,” “what you want and need from others,” “conflict or tension,” and “what others believe,” all of which remind us that our individual values cannot exist in a vacuum, but rather we are constantly negotiating them within the communities we’re a part of. ● Definition: Come up with a group definition of “community.” Submit your group definition on a flip chart paper to Austin at the close of the session. We will post them for a gallery walk at the beginning of the next session.</p><p>10 minutes Rejoin as a large group for conclusion and recap. Introduce Bridge Activity 2.5 (2.5) Bridge Activity ● Students will describe a moment when your values came into direct conflict (with friends, family, etc.). ● Prompt: What was a moment when your values came into direct conflict with others (friends, family)? What were the perceptions and/or misperceptions that led to that conflict?</p>
