Valuing Values


           

At the beginning of the year we had our team strategy session. The annual get together as a team to strategise, plan and spend time together is crucial. This years session just again reinforced that this session needs to be a non negotiable component on any team's diary. It gets everyone on the same page in terms of reinforcing where you are going, reconnecting and re-energising the team for the year. We were fortunate enough to stay on Robben Island in the Governor's House, which was an incredible experience to share with the team and added to it all being a fun experience.

One of the exercises that we did was to reconfirm our values. I wanted us to cement our values to be a driver for everything we think, do and say, and ultimately help with any the decisions we need to make. The Rotary’s four way test is a great example of what I had in mind to achieve for our team. What was important was that it was a team decision, I didn't want to say our values are xyz; I wanted the team to decide. 

I absolutely love the values that were agreed on, as these are values that resonate with us on a business and personal level:

Respect matters: We demonstrate a high regard for our clients, our colleagues, and the environment. We take all parties into consideration when making and implementing decisions.

Growth matters: We are dedicated to driving growth for ourselves, our team and our clients by delivering a differentiated reputation management offering. Aligning your needs with our vision, we are committed to your growth journey.

Authenticity matters: Compassion and honesty drive us to deliver original, quality work that maximises our clients’ return on investment.
