Omaha Chamber’s Dec. 1 Session Focuses on Values as the Core of Effective Leadership
Leaders from across the Omaha business community will gather on Dec. 1 for the next session of the Greater Omaha Chamber’s POWER Series, a workshop designed to help organizations strengthen culture by examining the values that shape how teams communicate, collaborate, and make decisions.
The session will be led by leadership coach and BraveJoy Leadership founder Aimee Gibson, whose work focuses on helping teams identify and align their core values to improve trust, retention, and workplace cohesion.
The workshop will guide participants through a series of reflective exercises centered on identifying, defining, and ranking personal and organizational values. Gibson said these conversations often reveal how individual experiences shape “values bias,” or the ways leaders unintentionally prioritize certain behaviors or expectations based on their own internal hierarchy. The session will also explore what happens when those personal hierarchies differ across a team and how a shared identity can emerge when organizations intentionally articulate and align around their values.
Organizers say the goal is to help leaders better understand the cultural dynamics that influence how teams operate. Research from Gallup and the Society for Human Resource Management consistently shows that workplace culture, transparency, and values-driven leadership are among the top predictors of employee engagement and long-term retention. Gibson’s approach draws on those findings, emphasizing that organizations with clearly communicated and widely understood values are more likely to build teams that are honest, open, and loyal.
Participants will leave the workshop with practical leadership tools, including strategies for increasing employee retention, improving team communication, and building stronger alignment across departments. The session is expected to attract managers, supervisors, HR professionals, and emerging leaders interested in strengthening their organizational culture and developing a clearer values framework.
