Whenever I run a Values-Based Leadership session, we tend to go over time – not because I talk too much (okay, maybe a little), but because people feel safe diving deep into the conversation. Cutting it short would almost feel wrong!
This was exactly the case with Dixie Bloor Neighbourhood Centre. I had the privilege of serving this leadership team recently. Huge shoutout to Priyanka and Michael for green-lighting this experience, and props to the participants for showing up and speaking up!

Here’s what was most helpful to participants coming out of the session:
- Realizing how our values shift over time and shape team leadership.
- Filtering core values.
- Exploring the mix of servant, equitable, and vulnerable leadership.
- Reflecting on ‘Conquer Your Potential’ brought me back to why I’m in this work.
- “The session was inspiring, thank you Parm.”
(The last one is real – I’m not making it up – self high-five 😁)
Playbook
For every team session whether it’s leadership development or team engagement, I create a Playbook. It’s a dynamic resource with key insights, strategies, and action items pulled from the session.
Not to give too much away, here’s a sneak peak from this session:
- Use personal experiences and mistakes as learning tools to foster authenticity and growth.
- Develop strategies to integrate fluidity and courage into daily management practices.
- Incorporate discussions on living and leading from values as a regular agenda item in meetings.
- Include the 1-3-1 and 10-80-10 concepts when delegating work.
💥 Which one can you try with yourself or with your team?
When embraced, the right training and development changes behaviour, increases collaboration, improves engagement and builds stronger culture. This then impacts performance and results in a MASSIVE way – not by throwing more work at people’s faces.
💥 2025 is around the corner – is your team ready to conquer their potential? Are you?
CONQUER YOUR POTENTIAL!
