Why are Values Important?
This was really difficult!
We always hear talk of living in alignment or aligning your values.
What does that even mean?
When I sat down to reflect I thought of so many values. I could literally say I have 90% of the values that came up when I put it into google (Yes I really did!)
But I wanted to go deeper- and truly be honest with myself. So I asked myself these questions:
Which values do I truly embody?
Which ones are weaved into everything that I do?
Which ones do I advocate?
Which ones do I run by business with?
Which ones make me think and pause when I am faced with a dilemma?
This is the top 5 that came up for me...
1. Excellence
I put in my all into whatever I do, including how I serve my clients. I also expect excellence from the services, products and experiences I invest in. I will pay the premium price for the premium experience as that’s the standard I set for my life.
2. Growth
This is never ending and I have invested time, energy and $$$ into this- won’t be stopping anytime soon.
3. Empowerment
This is especially true when it comes to women where we are buried under so many cultural expectations, societal conditioning, family restrictions amongst so much more.
4. Integrity
I’m direct and transparent- you won’t find fluff and BS here.
5. Compassion
Whether I challenge or empathise with my clients; its always from a place of compassion and that is why I am able to build strong relationships with them.
You can only live in integrity of your values and be your authentic self if your values are part of EVERYTHING YOU DO!
