Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport

Ottawa – January 16, 2023 – The Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) is pleased to invite expressions of interest from sport leaders to participate in a two-part Management by Values workshop on Tuesday, March 7 and Tuesday, March 28, from noon to 3 p.m. ET.

This virtual workshop will provide participants with the knowledge they need to understand the principles and processes of Management by Values, create shared learning through peer-to-peer success stories, and build a roadmap to activate the principles within their organization’s culture. Part one will focus on foundation and theory, and part two will bring Management by Values into action and allow for peer-to-peer engagement.

The workshop is based on Values-in-Action: Igniting Passion and Purpose in Sport Organizations, which draws from management science and practical wisdom of sport leaders, empowering participants to leverage organizational values to mitigate risks, fulfill organizational commitments, and foster a high-performing environment for staff and volunteers.

The CCES has been collaborating with Sport Law to deliver holistic, strategic, and values-based initiatives, including Management by Values, since 2009. Lauren Brett, Certified Integral Coach™ at Sport Law, will facilitate these sessions. Sport Law has been providing strategic insight to the Canadian sport community since 1992. They offer a full range of consulting, Integral Coaching^TM, and legal services that support their vision to elevate sport.

The workshop is open to leaders of Canadian sport organizations. Registration is limited to 12 participants. Please submit expressions of interest by email to Sarah Bennett ([email protected]) by February 10, 2023. The workshop is free of charge and will be in English.

Participants of the 2021 Management by Values workshop said:

• “[We were given] the opportunity to connect with others who have the same purpose and drive to make sport better through the use of our values and the True Sport Principles.”
• “[The workshop offered] insights on how to apply Management by Values and [provided] clear explanation of the concepts and the impact to sport.”
• "It was a “refreshing session… [We] wish more of these were available throughout the year. This type of topic is critical for the success of any organization.”

The CCES would like to acknowledge the Government of Canada for their financial support of this project.
