discover your core values

When you carve out the time to discover your core values, it is a powerful practice that helps you discern what your priorities are — professional & personal — so you can reach your goals more quickly.

When my clients share that they’re frustrated because their goals feel unattainable, without hesitation I recommend they identify their core values.
OR
If they have core values, and still struggle to reach their goals, I recommend they assign them meaning, and align their core values with the goals they’ve set.

CORE VALUES: Fundamental beliefs that guide a person’s behavior, decisions, and actions to help them navigate toward a desired vision. They represent the essence of your professional and personal values.

In early 2021, my professional and personal goals felt like they were at a standstill, and felt unattainable.

I asked my coach for guidance, without hesitation she encouraged me to identify my top core values. If that’s the solution, I’m ALL in!

Later, a colleague suggested we plan a productivity workshop. I was reluctant, and I really, really felt drawn to do it. When I shared the news with my coach, I expressed my fear. Still, I said yes. GROWTH was one of my top core values.

Something clicked…

As I aligned my core values with my goals, a connection formed that evoked meaning. I felt more certain in my ability to reach my goals.

When your core values are aligned with your goals, they become a powerful catalyst for change enabling you to:

• Filter your priorities with clarity, so when faced with tough choices, you can confidently ask, ‘Does this align with my vision?’

• Make better, more informed decisions that impact your professional and personal life.

• Take intentional steps that move you closer to your goals.

Reflecting back, I’m amazed at how quickly I moved from frustration to success once I identified my core values, and aligned them with my vision.
