How would you define your values? Before you answer this question, let's look at what values are. Values are the things that are important to us. They highlight what we stand for, give us direction in life, and allow us to make life and work decisions. When we honor our values, we experience fulfillment. But when we don't, we risk living a life of misalignment and unhappiness. Discovering your values takes time and self-reflection. That said, is there a way to gain clarity on your values and live the life and career that you want? Our guest today says yes!
