Why Integrating Your Values Strengthens Leadership

Background waves
Discovering and understanding our personal values can be one of the most powerful tools for creating and enjoying an empowered life.
Yet surprisingly, many people don’t know how to find their values. In this blog, Emma shares tips on how to find your personal and professional values.

 

 

Tip 1

Tune in to what makes you angry! It might seem odd, but often this can help you locate a value as the opposite of whatever that trigger was.

 

Tip 2

Think back to a time when you felt truly proud of yourself and delve into the emotion of that time. What values were at work?

 

Tip 3

Look at someone you admire, what are their values? List them and pull out the ones that speak to you personally.

 

Here are some examples of what your values might be:

 

Ambition Competency Individuality Equality
Service Integrity Responsibility Accuracy
Respect Dedication Diversity Improvement
Enjoyment/fun Loyalty Credibility Honesty
Innovativeness Teamwork Excellence Accountability
Empowerment Quality Dignity Collaboration
Stewardship Empathy Accomplishment Courage
Wisdom Independence Security Challenge
Influence Learning Compassion Friendliness
Discipline/order Generosity Persistency Optimism
Dependability Flexibility Intelligence Adventure
Decisiveness Fame Success Wisdom
Kindness Growth Self awareness Grace
Humility Strength Hard work Enthusiasm
Passion Family Freedom Loyalty
Beauty Originality Faith Helping society
Resilience Organisation Harmony Environment

 

Values are traits or qualities that represent your highest priorities and deeply held driving forces. You may find discovering your values is both surprising and enlightening. Knowing your deeper drivers can also help you navigate your life, decisions and what kind of job and company is the best fit for you.

Living your values is one of the most powerful tools available to you to help you be the person you want to be, to help you accomplish your goals and dreams, and to help you lead and influence others.

 

Why Identify and Establish Your Values?

Your values are made up of everything that has happened to you in your life and include influences from: your parents and family, your friends and peers, your education, your reading, and more. Once defined, values impact every aspect of your life.

Marketing Director Role at London Speech Workshop 

Marketing Director, London Speech Workshop 

London (Hybrid) | £50–75k + bonus

About Us

London Speech Workshop is a values-led communication coaching company helping people speak with confidence, authenticity, and impact. Through our Serlin Method™, we blend psychology and performance to create powerful, human transformation, for individuals and organisations alike.

We work with SMEs, charities, and household names including Unilever, Chanel, John Lewis, and the Bank of England. We’re in an exciting growth phase across B2B, B2C, and digital, and marketing is central to this next chapter.

We have a lateral working structure, a warm and dynamic team, and a simple ethos: our people should feel valued and know they’re delivering real value in the world. We look for good eggs with talent and grit.

The Role

This is not a purely strategic role. You’ll be deep in the detail; building funnels, shaping messaging, testing ideas, and driving performance, while leading a Marketing Manager and managing freelancers, agencies, and partners.

One morning you’re sketching a landing page wireframe. That afternoon you’re coaching your manager or reviewing PPC performance. You’re as comfortable in the data as you are in a creative brief.

What You’ll Own

Growth & Funnel Performance

  • Own the full funnel: awareness → lead → nurture → conversion
  • Build and optimise landing pages, journeys, and conversion flows
  • Run continuous testing (CRO, A/B, messaging) to improve performance

Paid & Performance Marketing

  • Own strategy and results across PPC (Google, Meta, LinkedIn, YouTube)
  • Manage agencies and freelancers — setting direction and pushing for better ROI
  • Allocate budget based on data, not instinct

Campaigns, Content & Execution

  • Plan and deliver campaigns across email, organic, paid, and partnerships
  • Shape high-converting landing pages, lead magnets, and email sequences
  • Ensure all content is on-brand: intelligent, warm, human, and impactful

Data, Team & Systems

  • Be obsessed with metrics: conversion, CAC, LTV, engagement
  • Own HubSpot (or similar): automation, segmentation, reporting
  • Manage and develop a Marketing Manager; brief and oversee designers and developers

Who You Are

  • 6–10+ years in growth and performance marketing
  • Have owned PPC and know what “good” looks like
  • Have built funnels and campaigns yourself — not just directed them
  • Confident with HubSpot, Figma/Canva, and analytics platforms
  • Strong copy instincts and an eye for conversion
  • Commercially sharp, driven by results not vanity metrics
  • Genuinely curious about people, behaviour, and what makes communication work

Salary & Benefits

  • £50,000–£75,000 DOE + performance bonus
  • Hybrid (2 days/week in our London office)
  • Learning budget + access to our training
  • A fast-moving, ideas-friendly team that lives what it teaches

How to Apply

  • Send your CV, a short cover note, and a max 2-minute video or voice note to Emma at careers@londonspeechworkshop.com. 
  • In the video, tell us: what excites you about this role, a marketing project you’re proud of, and your salary expectations.
