Who are you? Unleashing your Core Values | Jennifer Jones | TEDxChathamKent

Do you know who you really are, what you stand for and what is fundamental to your personal DNA? These are all questions that Jennifer will cover as part of a discussion about core values.
Core Values are the guiding principles that dictate our behaviors and actions. They help us to determine what is right and what is wrong. Through the act of storytelling, Jennifer will share her own personal journey and will challenge us to understand how identifying our core values can be the key to a more fulfilling life.
Jennifer is the President and CEO of Media Street Productions Inc., an award winning television production company in Windsor, Ontario. She is a proud member of the Rotary Club of Windsor-Roseland, and is a Past Governor of Rotary District 6400.
One of Rotary International’s most recognized communicators, Jennifer has presented keynote addresses and training workshops at more than 100 conferences across North America, and around the world. Jennifer has also chaired the Board of Governors of the University of Windsor and the Board of Directors of the Windsor-Essex Regional Chamber of Commerce.
Her awards include Rotary’s Service above Self Award and Citation for Meritorious Service, the YMCA Peace Medallion, the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal, and Wayne State University’s Peacemaker of the Year Award, a first for a Canadian.
Jennifer is happily married to Nick Krayacich a local family physician. They share a thirst for adventure that took them to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in 2009.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    It's great that this person was able to share her personal values and stories. This talk would have been much more useful if it also briefly explained how to pinpoint and define core values as well as how to create and stand by the values we wish to cultivate in ourselves.

    Thank you for sharing. We talk a lot about Core Values within my company. As a corporate trainer, I am constantly referring to them but there was a piece missing. How do my team members relate to them within their own values I can ask what someone's Core Values are but often they can't tell me why that is what they are or they haven't thought that heavily on it. This is what was missing. The story behind the Values. I'm now building training around building your stories and Core Values in Action. I'm feeling inspired.

    I'm seeking a formula to help me identify my core values. watching this, I find it very difficult to identify with someone who has no concept of what it's like to struggle everyday. The core values of someone with a golden spoon in her mouth are grossly different from that values I'm seeking to understand.

    This talk was not about helping people find their core values. This was all about what a wonderful person you think you are (and you truly might be, but this is not the stage for that). The stories did not connect with values.

    I agree. This is idealism not truth. It's not pointing people towards their truth but to other people's ideals which then causes people to be anything but themselves, which goes completely against the idea of core values. See Dr John Demartini or Tony Robbins.

    I agree, it was quite an empty talk. Good thing to come out of the time is that I found what I don’t like (perhaps towards finding a value) in listening to this: unawareness of a Superiority complex & unconscious bias of playing of the martyr.

    I found the Larry story super weird. Like the purpose of that value was "integrity" and Jennifer was talking about how she values integrity but used a most likely fake feel good fairy tale to talk about integrity.

    Yes there is such a thing as a core value. It is unique to you, despite what comes into your life, it doesn’t change. It is not a memory or an experience, it is your innate truth. Deep down inside you know what your truth is, thus, you know what you value. Shut everything and everyone out and you will know it again.

    @@ketofriendlyplate Hi, I have a question. If I have certain values but some of them are because of my religion or culture, how should I know that I have to change them? My point is I want to know more than what I see around me and at the same time I feel I should consider certain values and rules for me to be able to be in right path. But I'm confused. According to what criteria I should define and choose my value?

    Respect your opinion teacher Bonolo. However, she never mentioned what continent that happened, maybe out of respect even. Unfortunately, poverty is a reality in several countries in different continents. What she did say is that she endeavors to spread love and help to the ones in need. And that is noble.

    Africa is poverty stricken...... poverty is a massive and widespread issue there - it is a far greater issue in Africa than on any other continent. Sorry you don’t like that image; but perhaps instead of “teaching people that very image doesn’t make [your] continent,” you could try and help change the reality, instead of dressing it in silk and pretending Africa doesn’t have MAJOR issues with poverty. Or you can just continue being one of the many professionally offended people we see here on the internet :)
