Delia Mensitieri Motivation and Communication Coach	We starts with Me: living your values to create a brave new world When hearing about motivation, people often think about behaviors that motivates them. However, research shows that is not behavior that drives us, but values. This is one of the reasons why companies are focusing now on company values.

In this talk we will explore your values, link them to your behavior… read more
