Values are what hold societies together. Yet it isn't always easy to see what those values actually are or how they're changing all around us. Not only can our own values be opaque to us, organisations actively practice deceit around communicating their values. Few employers live up to the values they espouse in mission statements and founding myths. In an increasingly secular and hypocritical Britain, Linda Woodhead helps us navigate the new (and sometimes contradictory) values vying to fill the gap left by religion.

How did Britain get to its current state of value turmoil? Why do different generations struggle to empathise with one another and how can we better listen to one another? How and why is value gendered? And what does Rihanna have to do with millennial value formation?

By the end of the course, you will have learned:

• What the three major ethics determining British values today are
• The overlooked reason why churches have really started to fail
• How the NHS came to be a sacred symbol of British identity
• How to reflect on your own values
• What millenials and baby boomer women have in common
• The four steps to finding out an organisation's real values

As part of the course there are in-video quiz questions to consolidate your learning.
