Living Core Values
For use with a team, organization or any peer group forum.
Can be done in person or virtual
This is designed to create a conversation that brings Core Values alive. This is great for a team that knows what values they stand for. Through this exercise they will celebrate their values in action and therefore be energized to magnify them further.
It will also help bring along anyone that is new so they can understand that the group really walks the talk

Instructions
Set Up - 6 minutes
Define one of the teams Core Values. Give it a quick minimum viable definition to get them started.
Have participants reflect on:
When was a time that stands out more than any other where you saw, XYZ value leading to a phenomenal outcome or result, a time where you saw XYZ value coming to life?
Breakout rooms - 15 minutes
In small breakout groups (3-4 people), share a story of where you've seen it in action and the difference that it made.
Inside your groups nominate one of the stories that your small group thinks the larger group would like hearing.
Report Out - 9 minutes
Bring them back in to the larger group
Ask people to drop in the chat - "What has this inspired for you?"
Invitation: "if your story got nominated, let's hear 3-5 stories."
Let people share as many stories as you have time for. Remind them of the time so that you get to hear multiple voices, not just one really long story. Each share should be around 1 minute.
If you have additional time:
Bonus question: Have people reflect on and drop in the chat (if virtual) or call out if in person, now that you've heard some great examples of people living one of our core values and the powerful results that brought about, where will you live it out? What difference will it make and to who?
Background
This can shrink or stretch depending on how long you have and how long you spend on the sharing stories in the larger group.
