COLUMBIA, MD, 04/22/2025 – GP Strategies announces, “When Values Collide,” a new program designed to help professionals navigate the complex interplay between personal values, organizational imperatives, and professional responsibilities. The program equips participants with effective strategies to reconcile conflicting values, enhance constructive disagreement, and foster stable work environments during times of crisis and rapid change.
“The current political and economic climates are influencing workplace relationships and conversations in ways many of us are not used to, which can increase the likelihood of uncomfortable conversations and the chance of misalignment or conflict,” says Nic Girvan, Director of Leadership and Inclusion Product at GP Strategies. “This course equips professionals with the skills to navigate intricate value systems, understand personal and external motivations, and master the art of disagreeing well during times of crisis. It gives learners the tools to thrive, even when faced with difficult situations.”
The comprehensive curriculum examines how organizational values drive decisions, assesses professional responsibilities, and explores potential misalignments with topics such as personal politics, identity, and religious beliefs. Available in both instructor-led and virtual formats for groups up to 25 participants, the course features:
- Engaging case studies and practical exercises
- Guided reflection on personal values and their workplace impact
- The seven principles for curiously disagreeing
- Techniques for prioritizing emotional safety through effective boundary-setting
Designed for both individual contributors and people leaders, “When Values Collide” provides practical tools for professionals to thrive even when faced with difficult value-based challenges in the workplace.
