Developing a Behavioural Philosophy

Developing a Behavioural Philosophy The critical ingredients of your philosophy: • Identifying your core values and beliefs • Recognise significant past experiences - life script • Acknowledge the impact of role models

Trademarks (Activity 1: 10 mins) • List 6 – 8 words or ‘Trademarks’ that are important to you (values and beliefs) • Explain to the person next to you why they are important and why they stand for YOU as a person

How we see the world depends on the lenses we look through. .

Trademarks (Activity 2: 10 mins) • Consider the last time that you experienced a situation involving some kind of conflict • Map back through the self – awareness iceberg to reflect upon how you behaved in that situation and how your values, beliefs, thoughts and feelings resulted in this subsequent behaviour • Next consider the behaviour of the other person, how did they behave? Reflect on what you think they were feeling and thinking at the time. What values or beliefs may they hold that are different to yours in regards to this situation?
