Your Core Values

Understanding your own core values is critical to making authentic decisions that align with who you are. Most people don’t think too deeply about their own core values.

Ask people what’s important to them, and mostly they’ll say something like, “Obviously family, happiness, and helping others.” You know, the things we are all supposed to hold dear.

But what are your real core values? When you strip away all the shoulds in your life, when you cast off the externally imposed value systems of family, social groups, faith groups, society… what do you truly value?

Only once you’ve articulated that can you see where you align with or depart from the other value systems influencing your life. Only then can you be intentional and deliberate about the choices you make in being authentic versus fitting in.

There’s nothing magical about determining your core values. You can find thousands of exercises on the internet to help you with that. This is my own particular flavor of such an exercise, which I use with a lot of my coaching clients. And it’s free to you. All I ask is you enter your email address and decide whether you want to join my mailing list. I won’t ever willingly give or sell your email address to anyone else.
