A six-month journey of intentional growth Malawi · Africa · Global
About the Project

A deliberate response to an uncertain world.

The Value Project helps people build the capability, discipline, assets and relationships that give them more ways to create value—in employment, entrepreneurship, service and everyday life.

What we mean by value

Value is usefulness that creates meaningful results.

Value is anything you can do, build, create, organise or provide that helps another person achieve a goal, solve a problem, save time, reduce risk, create opportunity or improve life.

That means your value can grow. You can learn. You can practice. You can build stronger habits. You can become more trusted. You can create systems and assets. You can become more useful in more contexts.

Our premise

Career security is increasingly capability security.

The goal is not to promise that every participant will get a particular job or income outcome. The goal is to deliberately increase the number and quality of options available by increasing capability and evidence of contribution.

More capability

Develop skills, knowledge, judgement and execution capacity.

More evidence

Create work that shows what you can actually do, not only what you have studied.

More options

Strengthen your ability to contribute through employment, enterprise, consulting, collaboration and service.

The Value Philosophy

Ten principles that guide the journey.

1. Excellence

Strive to deliver beyond expectations in everything you do.

2. YAHOO

You Always Have Other Options. Diversify your skills, income, and assets.

3. Ownership

Take full responsibility for your growth, decisions, and results.

4. Consistency

Small, consistent actions compounded over time create massive results.

5. Continuous Learning

Never stop learning. Stay curious, teachable, and open-minded.

6. Problem Solving

Focus on solving real problems that create real value for others.

7. Integrity

Be honest, ethical, and trustworthy in all your dealings.

8. Discipline

Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

9. Long-Term Thinking

Build with the future in mind. Think legacy, not just momentary gain.

10. Service

Use your gifts to serve, uplift, and make a positive impact.
