Values!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Last week, the day I had a coaching client and realized that all her frustrations regarding her current situation were due to underlying changes of her values, ironically, occurred on World Values Day. So, what do values have to do with the quote? Well, your reaction to that quote says a lot about your values and how you live your life. Values\u00a0make us\u00a0who we are by shaping\u00a0how we see the world, others, and\u00a0what we define as being right or wrong. Values are super powerful! They are at the core of our being. They are our motivators, our drivers, the reason we do the things we do and feel the way we feel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Interestingly, in most of my 1:1 Career Coaching sessions, when someone doesn\u2019t see any purpose in their job anymore, it goes back to either their values having changed, or, values having changed at their company. Another\u00a0possibility is that the company has communicated values, that are inconsistent with how they actually act and work.\u00a0The result is\u00a0frustration, demotivation and eventually, decrease in productivity and valuable employees leaving the firm.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what do you do with that?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

A good place to start is by defining what is most important to you? Your core values determine how you answer this question.\u00a0Our core values highlight what we stand for and therefore guide our behaviors, decisions, and actions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When you know what you value, you can live in accord with those values. This leads to greater fulfillment.\u00a0When you don\u2019t know your values, you might violate them every day. This creates internal tension. And this tension triggers destructive habits and regressive behavior.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve once heard an interesting thing about our values: We don\u2019t\u00a0choose\u00a0our values. Our values\u00a0reveal\u00a0themselves to us. This means that we can actually discover our values.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you start with a list of core values, your conscious mind will evaluate which values appear \u201cbetter\u201d than others. You will select personal values that \u201csound good\u201d based on your desired self-image. I\u2019ve experienced this myself and also while working with clients. Most of us get stuck in somewhere along the discovery process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you even <\/span>discover<\/b> these values? <\/span>
<\/span>How do you select the <\/span>right<\/b> values?<\/span>
<\/span>From the potentially long list of\u00a0values to choose from, how do you <\/span>prioritize<\/b> and then decide\/ discover which ones are\u00a0yours? <\/span>
<\/span>And finally, how do you ensure you <\/span>live<\/b> these values every day?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you interested in finding your authentic values and how to commit to living your values each day? \u2026 let me know in the comments. A surprise awaits you!\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
