Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- If someone asked me what I actually care about, I’m not sure I could answer honestly
- I pour everything into one part of my life
- We’ve got nice-sounding values up on the wall and the website, but they do nothing in the room when a real hiring or judgment call is on the table
- I can’t tell which of my values are truly mine and which I just absorbed from my parents or my culture
- If you ask me what I value I’ll say family, health, honesty, growth
