Education: The cornerstone of our mission.

Life Associates and The Center For Managing By Values® educational offerings, include intensive workshops, free webinars and other resources that cover a range of topics from Managing By Values® to leadership development and personal effectiveness. We strive to arm participants with practical tools that they can put to use immediately to effect positive change in their lives and their organizations.

Our webinars provide a good introduction to the topic in a one-hour online segment. We provide them as a free service, so all you need to do is register and log on at the appointed time.

Our workshops are one-day sessions personally facilitated by Dr. Michael O'Connor. A dynamic teacher and trainer, Dr. O'Connor delves deeply into the subject matter, using handouts and practical exercises, and providing individual attention to ensure that participants have a solid grasp of the material. A second, optional day offers the opportunity for one-on-one consultation with Dr. O'Connor.

Workshops are conducted in Naples, FL and New York City. If you are unable to attend a workshop at its scheduled time and location, we can arrange to conduct the workshop at your own facility. Contact Us for more information.

Webinars and Workshops Offered:



Unleashing The Invisible Motivator For Better Results!


Within the last twenty five years, the focus on personal values among people has become increasingly more significant for understanding and being more successful both personally and with others in our work and non-work lives. And, yet here are the facts that most people both don't know and, therefore, are not tapping to unleash this 'invisible motivator' for better results for ourselves, with others, and for our organizations!

  1. Most people do not understand the variety of values among people and therefore have limited success dealing with those whose values differ from theirs
  2. Many people are not clear about their personal values and, as a result, self-limit their own personal satisfaction and success
  3. The current faddish interest in Gen X, Gen Y, and other descriptors of today's personal values perspectives as well as how to personally and organizationally deal with these emerging generations include dangerous misunderstandings as well as recommendations for both individuals with these generational values as well as their organizations
In this webinar, Dr. Michael O'Connor will share his insights, research, and practical tips for getting better results with the variety of individual values types. Dr. O'Connor has co-authored books on this subject (The Leader Within, Mysteries of Motivation) as well as other practical tools. Among his credits is the 'What You Are Is' audio album he co-authored with Dr. Morris Massey in this area and his on-line Personal Values Analysis assessment and development system.
