    LATEST NEWS

    Dear GVV Colleagues:

    Greetings! At the beginning of the New Year with all the challenges and changes it has already delivered, it becomes more important than ever to develop our own competencies (as well as those of our students, colleagues, and employees) to voice and enact values-driven leadership. We need to normalize the expressions of truth and compassion and accountability - bringing down the negative emotion that can limit our impact while enhancing the insight that can enhance our ability to influence. We need to practice these skills and scripts, and Giving Voice To Values (GVV) is precisely about building this habit, this "Moral Muscle Memory."

    I do hope that you and yours are staying healthy and I continue to be impressed at the resilience and creativity with which so many have found ways to continue their best work in new ways and to be inspired to ask new questions and voice new approaches to values-driven leadership. Thank you for that!

    I am so pleased to report that the Giving Voice To Values work continues to grow rapidly and globally, especially as this is such a critical time for us to find constructive and effective ways to enact our best selves.

    See below for updates!

    CFA Institute Offers Online GVV Program Customized for Finance Students and Faculty

    Dr. Abiola Makinwa of The Hague University of Applied Sciences has developed an online training program called The IntegrityDLM (Digital Learning Module), which adapts the GVV pedagogy for its teaching tools. 

    Students develop moral 'reminders,' 'moral commitments,' and 'moral reference points' to encourage moral intentionality, as well as, an explicit moral vocabulary. Students create Integrity Toolkits comprising of Pyramids of Core Values; values-based Personal Codes of Conduct and Integrity Checklists. By prescribing, developing and practicing responses to ethical challenges in advance, students develop 'integrity awareness' and 'integrity assertiveness.' The framing of the competences is supported by research that an individuals' moral choices can be affected 'by emphasizing or raising their moral reference points.'
