What Are Your Values?

Deciding what's important in life.

By the Mind Tools Content Team

Key Takeaways

• Your personal values are a central part of who you are – and who you want to be.
• By becoming more aware of these vital factors in your life, you can use them as a guide to make the best choice in any situation.
• Some of life's decisions are really about determining what you value most. When many options seem reasonable, you can rely on your values to point you in the right direction.
• When how you live matches your values, life is usually good. When your existence doesn't align with your personal values, that's when things feel... wrong and you can feel unhappy.

How would you define your values?

Before you answer this question, you need to know what, in general, values are.

Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work.

They (should) determine your priorities, and, deep down, they're probably the measures you use to tell if your life is turning out the way you want it to.

When the things that you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually good – you're satisfied and content. But when these don't align with your personal values, that's when things feel... wrong. This can be a real source of unhappiness.

This is why making a conscious effort to identify your values is so important. So in this article and in the video, below, we're going to take a look at how you can identify your personal values.

How Values Help You

Values exist, whether you recognize them or not. Life can be much easier when you acknowledge your values – and when you make plans and decisions that honor them.

If you value family, but you have to work 70-hour weeks in your job, will you feel internal stress and conflict? And if you don't value competition, and you work in a highly competitive sales environment, are you likely to be satisfied with your job?

In these types of situations, understanding your values can really help. When you know your own values, you can use them to make decisions about how to live your life, and you can answer questions like these:

• What job should I pursue?
• Should I accept this promotion?
• Should I start my own business?
• Should I compromise, or be firm with my position?
• Should I follow tradition, or travel down a new path?

So, take the time to understand the real priorities in your life, and you'll be able to determine the best direction for you and your life goals !

Values are usually fairly stable, yet they don't have strict limits or boundaries. Also, as you move through life, your values may change.

For example, when you start your career, success – measured by money and status – might be a top priority.

But after you have a family, work-life balance may be what you value more.

As your definition of success changes, so do your personal values. This is why keeping in touch with your values is a lifelong exercise. You should continuously revisit this, especially if you start to feel unbalanced... and you can't quite figure out why.

As you go through the exercise below, bear in mind that values that were important in the past may not be relevant now.

Defining Your Values

When you define your personal values, you discover what's truly important to you. A good way of starting to do this is to look back on your life – to identify when you felt really good, and really confident that you were making good choices.

Step 1: Identify the times when you were happiest

Find examples from both your career and personal life. This will ensure some balance in your answers.

• What were you doing?
• Were you with other people? Who?
• What other factors contributed to your happiness?

Step 2: Identify the times when you were most proud

Use examples from your career and personal life.

• Why were you proud?
• Did other people share your pride? Who?
• What other factors contributed to your feelings of pride?

Step 3: Identify the times when you were most fulfilled and satisfied

Again, use both work and personal examples.

• What need or desire was fulfilled?
• How and why did the experience give your life meaning?
• What other factors contributed to your feelings of fulfillment?

Step 4: Determine your top values, based on your experiences of happiness, pride, and fulfillment

Why is each experience truly important and memorable? Use the following list of common personal values to help you get started – and aim for about 10 top values. (As you work through, you may find that some of these naturally combine. For instance, if you value philanthropy, community, and generosity, you might say that service to others is one of your top values.)

Common Personal Core Values

Step 5: prioritize your top values.

This step is probably the most difficult, because you'll have to look deep inside yourself. It's also the most important step, because, when making a decision, you'll have to choose between solutions that may satisfy different values. This is when you must know which value is more important to you.

• Write down your top values, not in any particular order.
• Look at the first two values and ask yourself, "If I could satisfy only one of these, which would I choose?" It might help to visualize a situation in which you would have to make that choice. For example, if you compare the values of service and stability, imagine that you must decide whether to sell your house and move to another country to do valuable foreign aid work, or keep your house and volunteer to do charity work closer to home.
• Keep working through the list, by comparing each value with each other value, until your list is in the correct order.

If you have a tough time doing this, consider using Paired Comparison Analysis to help you. With this method, you decide which of two options is most important, and then assign a score to show how much more important it is. Since it's so important to identify and prioritize your values, investing your time in this step is definitely worth it.

Step 6: Reaffirm your values

Check your top-priority values, and make sure that they fit with your life and your vision for yourself.

• Do these values make you feel good about yourself?
• Are you proud of your top three values?
• Would you be comfortable and proud to tell your values to people you respect and admire?
• Do these values represent things you would support, even if your choice isn't popular, and it puts you in the minority?

When you consider your values in decision making, you can be sure to keep your sense of integrity and what you know is right, and approach decisions with confidence and clarity. You'll also know that what you're doing is best for your current and future happiness and satisfaction.

Making value-based choices may not always be easy. However, making a choice that you know is right is a lot less difficult in the long run.

Top Tip for Defining Your Own Core Values

You can breathe life into your values by defining briefly, in writing, what they represent to you. Crystalizing what they stand for and why they matter to you will help embed their importance.

Keep the definitions short and write them in your own words, so you are really connected to them. These definitions will be handy reminders of who you are and what matters most to you – when and if you need reminding when there are decisions to be made.

For example, if one of your core values is “creativity” you might say, “I value it because the ability to solve problems and to come up with fresh, new ideas brings me joy and a deep sense of fulfillment.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Values

What does it mean to have values.

Your values are the beliefs and principles that you believe are important in the way that you live and work.

They (should) determine your priorities, and guide your decisions and the way you act towards others. When the things that you do, and the way that you behave, match your values, life is usually good.

Why Are Personal Values Important?

Understanding your values can really help make life easier and make you happier.

This happens because when you acknowledge your values – and make plans and decisions that honor them – you can use your values to make truly informed decisions about how to live your life.

By understanding the real priorities in your life, you'll be able to determine the best direction for you and meaningful life goals.

Identifying and understanding your values is a challenging and important exercise. Your personal values are a central part of who you are – and who you want to be. By becoming more aware of these important factors in your life, you can use them as a guide to make the best choice in any situation.

Some of life's decisions are really about determining what you value most. When many options seem reasonable, it's helpful and comforting to rely on your values – and use them as a strong guiding force to point you in the right direction.

April 8, 2018

By brent weaver | april 8, 2018, how to create your core values speech – with example.

Prior to EOS®, we had  core values defined, and they sat in a document collecting dust just like the periodic business plans we would cram together and do nothing with. All these entrepreneurs, consultants, and books kept telling me the same thing, “DEFINE YOUR CORE VALUES!!!”

And then what?

We finally got a roadmap for doing all of the great things core values can do for your business with Gino’s system. We could use them when:

• communicating

After we defined and updated our core values about four years ago, our EOS® Implementer, Bobi Siembieda , asked me to deliver a speech to my team that highlighted and explained our core values during the all-hands quarterly offsite with our team. Not only that, but she said that I would be doing this each and every quarter to rally the team. I didn’t even know where to start, so she pointed me to the section in Traction that explained this activity:

“The next step in the process is to communicate these core values to the rest of the organization. It’s time to create your presentation speech. People won’t necessarily understand what you mean if you merely state each core value. That’s why each one needs to be backed up with stories, analogies, and creative illustrations to drive home its importance .” Wickman, G. (2011). Traction . Dallas, TX: BenBella.

So in May of 2014, I delivered my first speech to my team. We did our first quarterly team offsite presentation of our business plan and at the finale, I stood up and read the words to our team. I was a bit nervous and felt awkward, but it debuted a specific language around what we valued as a company with specific examples and explanations.

Prior to this, we had core values defined, but they were just a few words listed on a document and shared. Never explained.

Every 90-days following this unveiling, we have built repetition with our core values with a new speech each quarter. I’ve since delivered a version of this speech 16 times.

Core Values Speech Example

If you’ve been instructed to implement a core values speech in your team or see that it could be valuable to instill your company’s core values into your team, I want to help you.

First, here is my most recent core values speech in a written and audio form:

UGURUS Core Values Speech – 2018 Q2 (Audio – read by me)

UGURUS Core Values Speech – 2018 Q2 (PDF – memo)

This speech is delivered at our team all-hands rollout of our quarterly plan. Steve and I meet offsite for a full day of strategic thinking around our business with Bobi. Following this meeting, we have a day to distill our plan, update docs, and then that evening is usually when I sit down and write the updated values speech. The following day is when we do our team all-hands. For the past few years, this all-hands meeting is a lengthy 3 to 4-hour team breakfast at the Four Seasons in Denver.

We spend the first hour or so hanging out, eating breakfast, and chatting. After eating, we dig into our docs. We start with a retrospective on the last quarter on how we did. We share an updated 12-week rolling scorecard , numbers for the quarter, and how we did on big priorities – or  Rocks . From there we dig into our plan moving forward. We review our VTO™, Accountability Chart, and Rocks.

Once we’ve unveiled our plan, we solicit feedback and insight from each member of our team. We aren’t debating the plan, just making sure everyone has an opportunity to be heard and ensure they understand what leadership wants to see out of the business over the next quarter.

At the very end, I stand up in front of everyone and read the speech.

Why The Core Values Speech is Important

I’ve learned that the core values speech is a keystone medium to deliver and reinforce your business’s core values. It’s not the only medium – you should also figure out how to reward and reinforce values during the day to day operations – but it provides a platform to unpack your values. Here are three benefits I’ve found:

• Defines Core Values It’s one thing to say we value  Being Bold and Taking Risks , but it’s another to explain what that means. Does it simply mean that the business takes risks with new ventures, or does it mean that an employee holds that value when they are communicating feedback to leadership within the business? Your core values speech should unpack each and every core value, provide examples, analogies, and stories to bring them to life. Just like words have definitions and multiple meanings, so do your core values.
• Reiterates Core Values It can take seven times to hear something before you hear it the first time. Repetition is the secret to mastering your business. Repeating your core values consistently helps to make sure they are actually used. And each time you emphasize your core values through your values speech, you’ll be at a different place in your business. They’ll mean different things at different times. So repetition not only helps their adoption and use in your business, but also deepens your own understanding of your core values.
• Reflection and Introspection Sitting down to write my speech each quarter gives me an opportunity to think about what has happened in my business and life and apply meaning. Doing this in the context of my company’s core values helps me to gain insights. Connecting what has happened and what we plan to do to our core values is an enlightening exercise for myself. And then sharing these insights with the team is one more opportunity to build a shared vision for the business.

How to Craft Your Core Values Speech

There really is no right or wrong way to write your speech. There is an example in the book Traction which is where I started. That being said, I think the only real requirement is to include all of your core values and elaborate on them. From there, it’s really a blank canvas for your creativity.

• Start with your core values. I first wrote a paragraph or two about each of our core values. This serves as the base of my speech and has varied just a bit since we started doing a speech each quarter. The biggest change in this part of my speech has been when we’ve changed our values during our leadership planning time.
• Add an example or story from the last 90-days for each value. I give one or two short examples from team members each quarter for each value. This gives me an opportunity to publicly recognize someone in our team living the values. These stories are not actually in the published memo from above. Most of the time, I just write in some hand notes on this section or will type shorthand for who I want to recognize on my speech doc. I’ll write something like “Dianna > Johnny T > $16k win after strat call” under my  Help First value. These notes would tell me that Dianna helped a customer named Johnny T sell a $16,000 project following her strategy call – which is a free intro call we do for our programs. That is a headline-worthy event as it shows that she wasn’t just selling, but helping the customer prior to an enrollment.
• Add an introduction story. This is where I get a bit creative. I’ll start with a theme, event, ah ha, or idea and tell a story to start off my speech. Usually, it’s a page or two written. One of my favorite things to do in these stories is bringing in customer testimonials, videos, and emails to make them come to life. Let’s say we just launched a new program – I might include an email from a customer letting us know how much this program changed their life.
• Tie in your purpose and/or BHAG. Besides your core values, the values speech is a great way to talk about your business mission. Let your team know that the values and stories are relevant for your journey to accomplish your BHAG (big hairy audacious goal) and living the purpose of your business.
• Practice reading it aloud. At first, I thought I would need to practice and memorize this speech. This stressed me out like crazy. There is a lot of work happening in the calendar quarter for me in my business – and adding one more thing was not something I was excited about. My focus is on writing a good speech. Then print it out and have it handy when it comes time to wrap our quarterly. If possible, give it a couple good practice reads to catch any language that sounds funky in spoken word as well as grammar. I usually find that I make a few changes after I speak it out loud.

Once you have your speech written, you’re 95% of the way there. That last five percent is actually reading it to your team, which is where you might have butterflies. But it’s where all the reward is!

You’ll likely feel a bit awkward. That’s ok. Your team is looking to you to be a leader, and giving this talk every quarter is a way to inspire them to follow you on your mission.

Not Sure if a Core Values Speech is Right For You?

The last thing I want to talk about is some  what if’s that might have you considering whether doing this activity is right for your business.

What if I have a small team?

Our UGURUS team is small. We’ve varied in size from four to about ten core team members over the last four years. I think I would deliver this speech as long as there was at least one other individual in my company. I feel a little strange when standing up at the end of a conference table with just a couple of people listening to my speech, but it’s great practice and the value is still there. As long as there are other people in your business that you need to rally around a common set of values, I think it makes sense.

What if I don’t have a team?

I have not personally been in this situation for over twelve years, but I do coach and mentor many without teams. If you don’t have a team, my recommendation would be to still do this exercise, but more as an introspective to solidify what you value and to tell a story about where you’ve been and plan to head. You could consider publishing it to your customers as a way to talk about what you value every quarter.

What if my team is virtual?

You need to do this more than those working locally in an office. Being remote means that people have less contact with one another, so being explicit in your core values and driving repetition around them is paramount. When folks are around each other day in day out, they tend to rub off on each other. When teams are remote and have less contact, it’s so important to make sure everyone is rowing in the same direction and sharing the same values when interacting with customers. Spin up a Zoom room. Record audio or video. Do whatever you can to get each team member to read, listen, or watch your delivery every quarter.

Should I share my speech externally?

That is up to you. After four years, we just decided that we would share our core values speech moving forward publicly as a memo. This gives us an opportunity to talk about what we value as a business with our customers and potential customers. The above memos are not the raw speech I gave my team. They are close to it – but I did spend about an hour making modifications so that it would be relevant to the general public. I think as long as you are talking about things that you think are important and key drivers for your business, I don’t see any reason not to.

Core Values Are Not Commandments

My final word on core values is on their fluidity. For the most part, over the past four years, our core values have remained constant. But they have changed. I was just looking back at my very first speech and most of the phrases that we used to communicate our core values were different than they are today. However, the underlying “value” is pretty close.

If you are hesitant to do this exercise because you’re not 100% confident in the core values you’ve set for your business, I encourage you to give it a try. You’ll likely find that this exercise will help you get more clear. By thinking of stories, bringing examples, finding analogies of things you value in your business, you’ll start to gain clarity on what you value. What other’s on your team value.

And that’s the whole point.

Create a common language around how you want folks to behave, who you want on your team, who you want as a customer, and who you don’t want around.

Core values can be a powerful tool to grow and scale your business. They are also a way for you to do more of what you love doing which is really what it’s all about.

If you have any questions about writing your own core values speech, let me know in the comments below.

Until next time.

20 personal values examples to help you find your own

Jump to section

Personal values 101

20 core value examples, 6 tips for defining your own core values, living by your values, moving forward.

You’re chatting with your manager about an important client deadline. The two of you are deep in conversation and about to hit the sweet spot brainstorming a new strategy.

A coworker interrupts and asks if they can have a moment of your time to solve a quick problem . They launch into their question before you can answer, and you lose your great idea. 

“Why couldn’t they wait until I was available?” you think. You value patience and self-control. But your coworker just has another way of working. 

Every day, you make judgments based on your values. They inform your behaviors and understanding of right and wrong. They help shape how you think, act, and feel. And ultimately, your values help you find happiness and purpose in life . What you do with your career, personal life, and relationships relies on your values. 

Many Americans' most important values are having a happy relationship, living an honest and respectable life, and practicing safety . But yours might differ, and that’s more than okay.

Understanding your own values is a fundamental part of self-awareness and getting to know yourself as a human being. With a better understanding of your values, you can develop more empathy. You might show better emotional regulation . And you might improve your communication skills . 

But identifying your values is difficult. It requires deep self-reflection and self-honesty — both of which take hard work. When you’re hustling and bustling daily, taking the time to do this comes at a premium. 

Let's dive into some personal values examples to help you reflect on what matters to you. 

Before exploring examples, it’s important to establish some core principles of this process. Knowing how values work will help you in your personal development.

What are personal core values?

Personal values are a set of beliefs that differentiate between “good” and “bad” in your community, culture, or society. They form a mindset that defines what you view as the ideal standards of behavior, like patience and honesty.

You probably already have some guiding principles that inform your decision-making , leadership style, and overall disposition in your personal life or the workplace. It’s up to you to identify what those are and verbalize them.

What’s a personal values system?

Your personal values system is the cumulation of all of your personal values. Together, they shape how you interact with the world around you. 

Transparency , self-discipline , and trustworthiness may be some core values that make up your personal values system. When faced with difficult conversations or challenging projects, these are the values you lean into. And you may expect the same set of values from your coworkers and friends. 

How are personal values formed?

You likely picked up your values from how and where you were raised . As a child, you observe and absorb the behaviors of people around you, such as:

Your parents or primary caregiver

Siblings and other close family members

Your teachers and other authority figures

Your friends

Your community

Religion or spirituality

Cultural expectations

All of these influence how personal values form. As you mature into your whole self , you decide which values you’d like to keep and which ones you’d like to leave behind to build a more fulfilling life. 

Why are core personal values important?

Common core values are essential to social cohesion but can also cause conflict or discrimination . One Association for Consumer Research study found that people of culturally diverse backgrounds may be identified by their values with 65% accuracy , meaning that it’s easy to assume what culture they’re from based on their values.

These differences in values might be strong enough to cause conflict if you can’t respect or see the merit in other people’s ways of thinking. That’s why it’s important to communicate your needs and set boundaries so others understand where you’re coming from (and vice versa).

Are personal values permanent?

Although your core values may be fairly stable, it might surprise you to know that your values change and evolve. Personal values are constantly changing as you learn and grow. This is why you should understand your own personal values system and check in with yourself regularly. 

Sometimes you hold values that seem right, but you haven’t actually tested them yet. A structured corporate job might make you think you value order and predictability. But after a career change into a more casual work environment, you might realize that values like flexibility, creativity, and boldness of character matter to you far more. 

Through self-reflection and self-examination, you might find certain values are holding you back or hurting your relationships. Values around money and status that once seemed compelling may stop being helpful if your career feels like a never-ending race with financial gain as the only goal.

Once you define those values, you can consider whether they still matter to you. You may need to change or reframe them so they’re more helpful and less harmful in your life. Or, if they still hold true, you can change your habits to honor them.

Here’s a list of core values to inspire you. Try to look for them within yourself:

• Dependability
• Sustainability
• Self-respect
• Adaptability
• Assertiveness
• Open-mindedness
• Personal growth
• Flexibility
• Improvement
• Self-reliance

You can see how these might define your behavior or affect life decisions. If you value humility , you’ll be less likely to be flashy about your skills, no matter how talented you actually are.

And if frugality is important to you, you’ll spend money with more intention than someone with different values. None of these traits is worse than another: everyone is different, and that’s the beauty of individuality.

Here’s how you can start identifying values in your own life. Open a document or pull out a notebook and try the following exercises to find what matters to you.

1. Think of the most meaningful moments in your life

What made those important moments meaningful to you? Who did you share them with? You can define “meaningful” however you like, but it usually encompasses moments where you were at peace and filled with purpose .

Parents experience this during their child’s birth, first steps, and first words. You might experience it at work when you’re using your skills to do something important that brings the company value. Or you might feel this way with an old colleague when you’re helping them through a rough career path and know your advice resonates. 

As you list your meaningful moments, a theme should emerge. Connect the dots to reveal your core values.

2. Think of the moments you felt the least satisfied

This is similar to the first exercise. But this time, try to imagine the opposite. What were some of your worst life experiences? Why do they weigh so heavily on you? How were other people behaving toward you?

You might feel unfulfilled at work if the organization’s mission statement doesn’t match your sense of purpose. It’s the same story when spotting red flags in a relationship .

Mismatched values might leave you feeling unsatisfied, and they don’t necessarily have to be “bad values” like dishonesty or vanity. You'll feel stifled if your boss prefers routine but you enjoy innovation . 

3. Pay attention to what stories inspire you

When you read the news or browse your library, see if any articles or books catch your attention. Look for people whose behavior you admire or respect. Consider why their stories speak to you and what that says about your sense of self. 

4. Figure out what makes you angry

You can learn a lot about your values by paying attention to what irritates you. Maybe a colleague rubs you the wrong way, a coworker upset you, or you found a task frustrating. Your feelings might be rooted in a contradiction of your values. If communication matters to you, a lack of it will make you angry.

5. Imagine your ideal environment

Think about your workplace. If you could reshape the company culture , what would it look like? Think of the employee benefits you’d provide (or not), how coworkers would treat each other, and how people might spend their time. Chances are, your choices will reflect the values you want to see in all areas of your life.

6. Review the accomplishments you’re most proud of

You’ve done a lot of things in your life. Think of the ones that fill you with pride. What did you do? What was the impact? Why those accomplishments and not others?

You might see some overlap with your most meaningful moments here. Was an important promotion one of the best days of your life? Is that more important than a great day with your friends? What does that tell you?

It’s good to understand your values, but they mean nothing without action. Here are some tips that will help you live with more authenticity.

1. Create a list of priority values

Not all values are equal, and some might even conflict with each other. You’ll have to think of which ones are most important to you. 

Make a list of your top values. If you’re stuck between two, imagine a situation where you could only satisfy one of them. Think about which one you would choose and why. 

Here’s an example you might find in your professional life. 

Imagine a coworker is proud of a presentation they worked on for weeks, but it lacks clarity, organization, and key points. Your top two values are honesty and kindness.

Do you give your colleague some unsolicited constructive feedback and risk bruising their ego ? Or do you keep it to yourself, sacrificing your honesty? Sometimes, being honest is being kind in itself, but the situation gets murky when you don’t want to hurt someone’s feelings.

2. Use your values to set goals

Your values should inform your 5-year plan and vision statement . Consider the following question: what do you have to change to better live by your values? This question can help you with short and long-term goal setting .

If you value cooperation, you might look for a job that focuses on teamwork. If you value learning, you can enroll in night classes to earn additional qualifications.

3. Allow for exceptions

Values are your ideal vision for the world, but sometimes they conflict with reality. To mitigate this, think of circumstances where it’s acceptable to compromise. You can value loyalty to your job unless your boss oversteps your work-life balance . You don’t have to be rigid if that causes negative consequences.

4. Strengthen your values with good habits

It’s easy to lose track of your values when you’re busy with daily life. Here are some habits that can help you when you don’t have much free time :

Write down a personal value statement

Reinforce your values into a journaling practice

Read them aloud during regular manifestation

Print out your values and keep them with you

Place them somewhere visible like your bathroom mirror

These small day-to-day tasks will help you live a life that adheres to your values. And if you accidentally stray, analyze the situation after. Ask yourself what you could have done differently and why you made the decision you did.

5. Practice Inner Work®️

Inner Work®️ is about exploring and connecting your internal self to the world around you. This means making the changes necessary to live your values every day.

It can also mean recognizing when some values don’t serve you anymore. After some self-reflection, you might find that your attitudes do more harm than good. Inner Work®️ recognizes that and helps you find the courage and motivation to make the daily changes that will help you live with more clarity, purpose, and passion. 

Now you’ll know why it irks you so much next time someone interrupts you or tells a white lie. People with mismatching values are at best frustrating, and at worst emotional vampires . The same is true for other aspects of your life. 

Reviewing common personal value examples can help you get in touch with yourself and align with like-minded people. 

When you live by your values, you’ll notice that things will feel easier. It’ll improve your emotional health by helping you feel more at peace. Plus, you’ll unlock your potential , knowing you’re living in a way that’s authentic to you.

How to Launch Your Core Values and Make Them Stick

Has your leadership team developed incredible core values but employees have no idea they exist? Find out five things you can do to launch your core values and make them stick.

After all the brainstorms and hard work your leaders have put into developing company core values, now’s the time to roll them out to the rest of your organization.

But how can you implement your core values successfully in a way that will last?

Continue reading to discover five easy – but important – things you can do to launch your core values and keep them top-of-mind for employees.

5 Steps to Implement Your Core Values and Keep Them Alive

Here are five important things you should do to launch your core values, so that they have a lasting, positive impact on your company.

1. Create Promo Material

One of the first steps you’ll want to take when launching your core values is create promotional material that you can circulate internally. For example, you can hang posters in the hallways, use images as employees’ desktop backgrounds, or provide each employee with a printout at your next company meeting.

At Outback Team Building & Training, our core values are on display throughout our headquarters. You can find them posted beside employees’ computers, saved as people’s screensavers, and hung up as large posters in various spaces around the building. As a result, they are never very far from our minds.

You can also take your promotional material above and beyond by participating in a  custom team building event  that incorporates your core values.

For example, our team worked with a group to build a tower, with each level representing one of their company’s core values. Afterwards, they put the tower on display back at their office. It was a memorable and fun way for this organization to instill and promote their core values throughout the company.

2. Announce Company-Wide

After you have all of your promotional material ready to go, it’s time to officially launch your core values.

This announcement works best when shared with the entire company at the same time, so that nobody feels left out of the loop. Organization-wide memos, an announcement at a company meeting, or an info session about the core values are all great options.

And don’t forget to make use of your promotional materials! As mentioned above, you can attach core value graphics to email announcements, or hand printouts to employees at a meeting or info session.

Outback’s leadership team chose to launch our core values with a presentation and interactive session. At the session, employees were introduced to the core values and asked to share what each attribute meant to them.

It’s important not to forget that new hires will have missed your launch, so try to include a similar presentation during your onboarding process. This can help ensure that the core values remain prominent as your team continues to grow.

3. Use Core Value Language Daily

Something that the Outback team does on a regular basis is incorporate our core values into everyday discussions.

For example, employees are encouraged to weave this language into meetings, employee feedback and reviews, and internal communications.

By using the core values as a guide when making decisions or discussing important company-related matters, you can help continually keep them top-of-mind for your entire organization.

4. Recognize People Who Live Your Core Values

By recognizing individuals within your organization who live the core values, you can help encourage others to do the same.

Here are a few ways you can show employees that you notice when they embody your company’s key attributes:

• Provide written recognition during team meetings
• Give verbal shout-outs during organization-wide meetings
• Present core value awards at your retreats, summits, or kick-off meetings

All of the above can be done on a monthly, quarterly, half-yearly, or annual basis.

5. Hire with Core Values in Mind

Using core values to hire new employees can help you build a stronger and more cohesive team.

By ensuring that individuals value the same traits as the rest of your organization, you’ll be able to fill your team with people who fit in with your company culture.

Core values play a large part in how Outback interviews, influencing everything from the recruitment materials, job descriptions, and, of course, the actual interview questions. Our leadership team has found that this tactic helps our company consistently bring on people who are not only a great fit for our organization, but are set up to succeed from the get go.

What It Takes to Give a Great Presentation

• Carmine Gallo

Five tips to set yourself apart.

Never underestimate the power of great communication. It can help you land the job of your dreams, attract investors to back your idea, or elevate your stature within your organization. But while there are plenty of good speakers in the world, you can set yourself apart out by being the person who can deliver something great over and over. Here are a few tips for business professionals who want to move from being good speakers to great ones: be concise (the fewer words, the better); never use bullet points (photos and images paired together are more memorable); don’t underestimate the power of your voice (raise and lower it for emphasis); give your audience something extra (unexpected moments will grab their attention); rehearse (the best speakers are the best because they practice — a lot).

I was sitting across the table from a Silicon Valley CEO who had pioneered a technology that touches many of our lives — the flash memory that stores data on smartphones, digital cameras, and computers. He was a frequent guest on CNBC and had been delivering business presentations for at least 20 years before we met. And yet, the CEO wanted to sharpen his public speaking skills.

Speech About Values [1-3 Minutes]

Values are positive good qualities present in an individual or company. These values are responsible for each action performed by an individual. They also help others to figure out the nature of a person or a group of people living together or working together.

Core values represent an individual’s or organisation’s priorities. In this article, we shared some examples of speech about values having a time duration of 1, 2 and 3 minutes. This will help you prepare for a speech presentation.

1 Minute Speech about Values

Good morning and welcome all of you gathered here. I am here to present a speech on values and their importance.

The real value of a person is determined by the values imbibed in him. These are sometimes called core values. Core values are profound essential values that are grounds for who we are as a person. They tell us what we really believe about ourselves.

Core values decide the behaviour, the thinking pattern, and the actions that someone will execute. The same applies to an organisation. If we talk about some of these values. They can be; confidence , humbleness, doing the right things, accountability, helping first, integrity, sharing etc.

In short, Values are important that drive an individual or a business to behave ethically. Thank you!

2-Minute Speech About Values

Welcome honourable principal, respected teacher, loved parents and dear friends. Today, we are gathered here for this special occasion of… I am here to speak a few words about the importance of values.

Values or sometimes called core values or moral values are the invention of humans. These values distinguish humans from animals. These values are important for an individual, a society, an organisation, a business and a country because values have the purpose of driving you to act and behave ethically.

Your values indicate what is important to you and what are your priorities. If you have good values, everyone will like you and you will develop a mutual emotional connection with others. This way you will behave very well with others. Hence, values shape your personality and behaviour .

The values inside you help you make the right decision. They help you distinguish between right and wrong. When you make the right decisions, you prosper on the path of progress. This improves your confidence. Therefore, we can say that values help you grow.

Values can build character. Good values can help you build a strong character and bad values can help you build a loose character. Now, a question arises in the mind; what are good values? There are a lot of values considered as good.

Some of these can be compassion, loyalty, discipline, accountability, confidence, gratitude, sharing, caring, and doing the right things. There is a quote that can help you understand the importance of values in a few words.

Treat people the way you want yourself to be treated. Talk to the people the way you want yourself to be talked to. Respect is earned, not given.

To sum it up, your values can decide the experiences you are going to encounter. So, imbibe good values in you and enjoy the world. Thank you!

3 Minute Speech On The Importance Of values

First of all, good morning to the honourable principal, respected teachers and loving friends and all of you present here today. In your special presence, I would like to say a few words about core values.

We develop a wonderful connection with some people while we fail to do the same with others. This is because of the values they imbibe in them. If we find a person with the same interest and values as us, we like them and vice versa.

Let’s talk about some good values that an individual must have.

1. Kindness

Kindness is the best value of all. Every living being understands the language of kindness. Kind nature can calm even the most ferocious animal. Being kind often requires courage and strength, as it involves the willingness to celebrate and give attention to someone else.

“ Honesty is the best policy “. You must have listened to this line one day or another. It is one of the most basic core values. Honesty is the equilibrium of what we say and what we do. It also encourages one to always tell the truth and avoid cheating.

3. Doing the Right Thing

Doing the right is a tough commitment because it will please some people and fury others. But wait… Give it a think before doing anything if this act is actually right. Here right means which is right for all, not for one perspective. Hence, doing the right thing requires a great deal of wisdom.

Apart from these, there are many values we can count such as;

• Spirituality
• Selflessness
• Determination
• Trustworthiness
• Appreciation
• Self-Reliance
• Attentiveness

To sum it up, in order to prosper in each aspect of life, one needs to incorporate good values.

Thank you very much for listening to my speech. I hope you liked it.

How to Give A Compelling Interview Presentation: Tips, Examples and Topic Ideas

Interview presentations have now become the new norm for most industries. They are popular for sales, marketing, technology, and academic positions. If you have been asked to deliver one for your job interview presentation, prepare to build a strong case for yourself as a candidate.

Giving a general presentation is already daunting. But selling yourself is always the hardest. Spectacular credentials and stellar expertise don’t count much if you cannot present them clearly, which you are expected to do during your interview presentation.

So, let’s prime you up for the challenge. This post is action-packed with job interview PowerPoint presentation examples and will teach you the best way to do a presentation without stressing too much!

Table of Contents

What is an Interview Presentation?

What should an interview presentation look like, how to prepare for a job interview presentation: the basics, define your structure, what slides to include, how to come up with 15-minute interview presentation ideas, how to conclude your interview presentation, how to prepare for an interview: the final tips, what to do at the first interaction with the company elevator pitch for interview, presentation design tips, how to overcome presentation anxiety, tips on maintaining positive body language throughout the presentation, your final act.

An interview presentation, also known as a job interview presentation or interview portfolio, is a formal and structured way for candidates to showcase their skills, qualifications, and suitability for a specific job position during an interview. It goes beyond the typical Q&A format of interviews, allowing candidates to demonstrate their expertise through a prepared presentation. Employers commonly request interview presentations in various industries, such as sales, marketing, technology, academia, and management roles. These presentations serve several important purposes: assessing communication skills, evaluating cultural fit, measuring expertise, analyzing problem-solving skills, and observing presentation skills. While the specific format and requirements of interview presentations vary widely, candidates typically receive guidelines from the employer regarding the topic, duration, and any specific criteria to be addressed. In essence, an interview presentation is an opportunity for candidates to make a compelling case for their candidacy, showcasing their qualifications, experience, and suitability for the job. It requires careful preparation, effective communication, and the ability to engage and persuade the interview panel. A successful interview presentation can significantly enhance a candidate’s chances of securing the desired position.

Think of your interview presentation as a sales pitch.

Your goal is to convince the human resources team that you are the best candidate. The kick here is that you will present to a warm audience – you already impressed them enough with your resume to be called in for an interview. We recommend generating a strategy and presentation based on a 30 60 90 Day Plan .

Employers request interview presentations for a few simple reasons:

• To assess your communication and public speaking skills.
• To understand whether you are the right cultural fit for the company.
• To develop a better sense of how well-versed you are in the domain .

So, your first job is ensuring your presentation fits the criteria. Review the company’s job description again and jot down all the candidate requirements. Take the time to read about their company values and mission. Be proactive and ask precisely what you should cover during your presentation.

Most interview presentations will differ in content and style, but here’s a quick example to give you more context:

[ Use This Template ]

Before you get elbow-deep in designing that PowerPoint for a job interview presentation, do some scouting and reach out to the HR team with a few questions.

You want your presentation to be on-point and technically accurate, so ask your contact the following:

• How long should an interview presentation be? Fifteen minutes is the golden standard, though some employers may ask to cut it down to just 10 minutes or extend it to 20-25.
• Who exactly will be present? A conversational presentation would undoubtedly be welcomed by your peers and a team leader but may appear too casual for the senior managers or board of directors.
• Does the HR team have a particular agenda in mind? Ask some leading questions to understand what kind of skills/experience they want you to demonstrate. If needed, use a proper agenda slide to include your content.
• What’s the IT setup? Should you bring your laptop? Do you need an adapter to connect to their projector? What kind of presentation software have they installed – PowerPoint, Keynote, Google Slides?

Everyone appreciates clarity.

In fact, 89% of professionals state their ability to communicate with clarity directly impacts their career and income.

Your presentation should flow, not rumble. Make sure that your story is easy to follow and your key message is easy to digest, remember, and pass on. If you want people to retain your main points, opt for the following structure:

Here’s an interview presentation example styled in this fashion.

What is: The company’s presence in the Middle East is low. Only 15% of revenues come from the top markets.

Why this matters: The UAE fashion market alone is expected to grow at a CAGR of 21% during the next five years.

What could be: I have helped my previous employer open a flagship store in Dubai, have a lot of industry contacts, and am familiar with the local legislature. Your brand can expect a 17% revenue growth within one year of opening.

The choice of slides will largely depend on whether you are asked to talk about yourself or present on some task that you will be required to do as part of your job (e.g., create marketing campaigns).

Most interview presentation templates feature the following slides:

• Opening Slide
• Quick Bio/Personal Summary
• Career Path
• Education timeline
• Key Skills and Expertise
• Case studies/examples of the problems you have solved at your past jobs
• Your vision for your future role.
• What exactly can you bring in as the candidate (we will come back to this one later on!)

Typically, a talent acquisition team will suggest broad interview presentation topics for you. For example, if you are applying for a sales position, they may ask you to develop a sales presentation for some product (real or imaginary).

Some employers will request a short presentation about you or your hobbies to understand whether you are a good “fit” for the team and share the company’s values. Remember this: your audience will be assessing your aptitude for the role, no matter which topic you were given.

In fact, the interviewers at this point don’t care that much about your experience and skills. They want to know how you can apply those to solve the company’s pressing problems – meet sales targets, improve ROI from social media marketing or help them earn more revenue.

Your job is to make an educated guess… predict the most wrenching problem, and pitch your “magic pill” during your interview presentation.

I know what you are thinking – but how do I find the right opportunity/problem to tackle?

Businesses across different industries pretty much struggle with the same generic challenges related to either of the following:

Your topic should clearly address one of these areas and offer a potential roadmap for solving some specific problem within it.

Let’s say that you are applying for a sales role. Clearly, you will want to tackle the “customer audience” set of problems. To refine your idea, ask yourself the following questions:

• Can you think of a new customer segment the company should target? Who are they, what do they want, and how you can help the company reach them?
• Do you have a network or experience to identify and pitch new clients?
• Can you think of new collaboration opportunities the company could use to attract a whole new niche of customers?

So a sample job interview presentation about yourself should include a series of Problem & Solution Slides , showing exactly how you will address that issue if the company hires you.

Here’s another PowerPoint presentation about yourself for job interview example worth using – incorporate a case study slide, showing how you have successfully solved a similar problem for your past employer.

Wrap up your presentation by laying out the key steps the company needs to take. Give an estimate of how much time it will take to tackle the problem, and what changes/investments should be made.

Your conclusion should tell this: “Hire me and I will solve this problem for you in no time!”.

Dial-Up Your Power

Take a deep breath and strike a “power pose” before you enter the room.

According to her research, power posers performed better during interviews and were more likely to get hired. Another study also proved this theory: unaware judges gave major preference to the power-primed applicants. So yes, pep talks do work!

The first 30 Seconds Count The Most

What you do and say in the first 30 seconds will make the most impact. Psychological  research  shows that listeners form opinions about your personality and intelligence in the first 30 seconds of the interview. So be sure to start with a compelling opening, framing exactly how you want to be perceived.

Try To Appear Similar to the Interviewer

Lauren Rivera, a professor from Kellogg School,  came to the conclusion that interviewers tend to hire “people like them” .

Even the top human resource management folks fall for this bias and tend to base their evaluations on how similar a candidate is to them, instead of trying to decide whether the person’s skill set is ideal for the position. So to be liked, you will have to act relatable.

Back up your statements with facts

To deliver a presentation with a bang, you can make use of pre-analyzed facts to support your hypothesis. Make sure to do your homework, study the company and its competitive landscape, and do the professional work you would have done as a member of the company crew. At some point in your interview presentation, you go “off the script”, and pull out a bunch of documents, supporting your statements.

For example, you can give away a quick plan indicating a number of things the employer could do today to save money, even if they don’t hire you. Make sure to be meticulous; your work will speak for you. But giving away this work will show the employer your commitment, skills, and focus.

And that’s exactly how to make your job interview presentation stand out. Most candidates just ramble about their skills and past career moves. You bring specificity and proof to the platter, showing exactly what makes you a great hire fair and square.

Within a selection process, there are many interactions (interviews and dynamics) that you must successfully complete in order to be the next selected candidate. One of your objectives in this first interaction should be to generate a great first impression in the company. For this, we recommend using the Elevator Pitch for Interview technique.

The Elevator Pitch for Interview will allow you to present yourself in a solid and professional way in less than 60 seconds, in order to generate an outstanding first impression.

What is an Elevator Pitch for an Interview?

The Elevator Pitch is a condensed speech about yourself that aims to generate engagement in no more than 60 seconds. Entrepreneurs widely use this type of speech to persuade investors and job seekers in job interviews. Your Elevator Pitch for the Interview will generate a great first impression to the employer and be better positioned than other candidates. If your goal is to make a convincing presentation in a job interview, your Elevator Pitch needs to be well crafted.

How to Make an Elevator Pitch for an Interview

There are many ways and tips to make an excellent Elevator Pitch for a job interview. This section provides you with essential advice to make your interview more convincing.

Identify your target

You need to know to whom you are presenting yourself. Is it a recruiter? or an executive?. Your Elevator Pitch will change depending on the receiver.

Comprehend the needs of the hiring company

Make an advanced study about the search requirements for the job position. Identify your strengths. Highlight them. Demonstrate your experience. Identify your weaknesses. Show that you have a profile that seeks constant improvement

Create a clear, concise, and truthful Elevator Pitch

This point is critical. Your Elevator Pitch must be clear, concise, genuine, and impactful. Go from less to more. Generate a real hook in your audience. Try not to go off-topic or talk too much, and be brief in everything you want to say.

Speak naturally and confidently

If you can speak fluently and naturally, you can show a confident profile. Show you know what you are talking about and what you want.

Elevator Pitch Example for Job Seekers

This section illustrates an Elevator Pitch Example targeted to Recruiters. It will help you put together your own.

“My name is [NAME]. After graduating with a degree in Business Administration, I have spent the last five years accumulating professional experience as a Project Assistant and Project Manager. I have successfully managed intangible products’ planning, strategy, and launch these past few years. I was excited to learn about this opportunity in Big Data – I’ve always been passionate about how technology and the use of information can greatly improve the way we live. I would love the opportunity to bring my project management and leadership skills to this position.”

Ways to avoid common mistakes in your Elevator Pitch

Keep in mind the following points to avoid making mistakes in your Elevator Pitch for an Interview.

Don’t hurry to make your Elevator Pitch

The Elevator Pitch lasts approximately 60 seconds. Do it on your own time and naturally, as long as you make it clear and concise.

Do not always use the same Elevator Pitch for all cases

One recommendation is not to repeat the same Elevator Pitch in all your interviews. Make changes. Try new options and ways of saying the information. Try different versions and check with your experience which generates more engagement and persuasion.

Make it easy to understand

Articulate your pitch as a story. Think that the person in front of you does not know you and is interested in learning more about your profile. Don’t make your Elevator Pitch challenging to appear more sophisticated. Simply generate a clear and easy-to-understand narrative, where all the data you tell is factual and verifiable.

Don’t forget to practice it

Practice is the key to success. Your Elevator Pitch for Interview will become more professional, convincing, and natural with practice.

How to End an Elevator Pitch?

An essential aspect of ending an Elevator Pitch for an Interview is demonstrating interest and passion for the position. You have already presented yourself and established that you have the necessary background for the job. Closing with phrases revealing passion and attitude will help reinforce your pitch.

We recommend you use expressions such as:

“I have always been interested and curious about the area in which the company operates, and it would be a great challenge for me to be able to perform in this position.”

“I have been interested in moving into your company for a while, and I love what your team is doing in IT.”

“I would like to advance my career with an employer with the same values. I know that thanks to my profile and experience, I can make excellent contributions to your company.”

Keep It Visual: Use visuals like images, graphs, and charts to convey your points effectively. Visuals can make complex information more accessible and engaging. Consistency Matters: Maintain a consistent design throughout your presentation. Use the same fonts, color schemes, and formatting to create a cohesive look. Practice Timing: Be mindful of the allotted time for your presentation. Practice to ensure you can comfortably cover your content within the time limit. Engage the Audience: Incorporate elements that engage the audience, such as questions, anecdotes, or real-world examples. Interaction keeps the interview panel interested. Use White Space: Avoid cluttered slides. Use white space to create a clean and uncluttered design that enhances readability.

Presenting during a job interview can be nerve-wracking. Here are some strategies to overcome presentation anxiety:

• Practice: Practice your presentation multiple times, ideally in front of a friend or mentor. The more you rehearse, the more confident you’ll become.
• Visualization: Visualize yourself by giving a successful presentation. Imagine yourself speaking confidently and engaging the audience.
• Breathing Techniques: Deep breathing can help calm nerves. Take slow, deep breaths before and during your presentation to reduce anxiety.
• Positive Self-Talk: Replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations. Remind yourself of your qualifications and the value you bring to the role.
• Focus on the Message: Concentrate on delivering your message rather than dwelling on your anxiety. Remember that the interviewers want to learn about your skills and experiences.
• Arrive Early: Arrive at the interview location early. This gives you time to get comfortable with the environment and set up any technical equipment you use.

Maintain Good Posture: Stand or sit up straight with your shoulders back. Good posture conveys confidence and attentiveness. Make Eye Contact: Establish and maintain eye contact with your audience to show confidence and engagement. Use Open Gestures: Employ open gestures, like open palms and expansive arm movements, to convey enthusiasm and openness. Smile and Show Enthusiasm: Genuine smiles and enthusiastic facial expressions demonstrate passion and eagerness. Control Nervous Habits: Be mindful of nervous habits like tapping or fidgeting, which can distract your audience and convey anxiety.
