ValuesJam on YouTube
On the ValuesJam YouTube channel we had some great Guest Session Series ValuesJams with guests from Australia, New Zealand, India, Canada, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, UK, Europe, Africa, and USA. The very first ValuesJam session with Richard Barrett is the most viewed session we have had and you might like to just dive in to some other sessions from the back catalogue.
EDUCATION and LOVE have been the topics for the ValuesJam Deepdive conversations so far in 2026.

Did you know?
Although happiness can feel like an amorphous concept, science has explored key pieces of the experience, such as which choices, activities, and mindsets lead to fulfillment, common misunderstandings of happiness, and theories that may explain the origin and attainment of well-being.

Benedict Heblich
Who are you?
Benedict Heblich blends motivational psychology and entrepreneurship to create products that serve people and the planet. As a PostDoc at the Institute for Entrepreneurship, Technology-Management & Innovation at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, he researched innovation and human motivation. He later worked as Digital Innovations Scout and Early Product Manager at BI X. As Co-founder of Vivid Ground, he developed a research-based digital health application for values reflection. Built using the Design Science Research Approach, the tool has supported more than 21,000 individuals and teams worldwide.
What are your core values?
- Universalism — creating a positive impact for people and nature
- Self-Direction — thinking and acting with volition and autonomy
- Stimulation — challenging myself and stepping outside my comfort zone
Why did you join the ValuesJam community?
I work in the field of motivational values assessment and I’m focused on helping as many people as possible connect with their deeper intrinsic motivation. A card-based format feels like a very tangible, accessible entry point into meaningful values conversations.
How are you using your ValuesJam card decks?
I’m currently exploring the most effective way to integrate them into my client work, since the ValuesJam values model differs from the evidence-based values frameworks commonly used in academic research and with other authors we collaborate.
Fave rock n roll moment of magic from a ValuesJam session?
Hopefully very soon 🙂
How could more HAPPINESS improve the world?
When people act from growth-oriented, intrinsic motives (rather than anxiety-driven or purely extrinsic motives), it tends to strengthen wellbeing, health, and resilience. More happy people usually means more prosocial, constructive action – and ultimately more sustainable choices at scale.
