Tapping the Hidden Power of Core Values

Tapping the Hidden Power of Core Values: Improve Organizational Effectiveness, Problem-Solving, and Performance

If your goal is to communicate in order to influence—whether internally with your team or externally with stakeholders—then possessing personal Core Values Mastery is essential. This interactive workshop, led by Zette Harbour, will guide nonprofit leaders and teams in harnessing the power of Core Values to enhance organizational effectiveness, increase clarity, and build meaningful relationships.

Unlike traditional approaches that treat values as abstract ideals to strive for, Zette redefines Core Values as rich, internal currents that already shape our decisions and behaviors—often without our conscious awareness. When we learn to recognize, name, and align with these internal drivers, we unlock a powerful tool for communication, collaboration, and purpose-driven action.

Why It Matters:

Nonprofit work is inherently values-driven. But misalignment—within individuals, among teams, or between an organization and its mission—can lead to friction, inefficiency, and even donor attrition. Core Values Mastery offers a practical and transformative framework to help nonprofits navigate these challenges with greater ease and insight.

Participants will explore how to:

• Develop deep-rooted confidence and authority in communication
• Improve decision-making and problem-solving with less effort
• Strengthen team communication and collaboration
• Build more authentic, lasting relationships with clients and donors
• Increase productivity and morale across the organization
• Attract aligned staff, board members, and community partners

Workshop Takeaways:

Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of how to apply Core Values Mastery to fuel momentum, resolve conflict, and achieve greater impact. Whether you're navigating interoffice tension or recovering from a lost funder, this session will equip you with a strategic lens to guide your next steps.

Ideal For:

Nonprofit leaders, program managers, fundraisers, board members, and anyone seeking to lead with clarity, purpose, and authenticity.
