If someone were to ask you today about your core values, would you be able to articulate them out loud? Have you ever spent the time to think about your values, especially as they relate to your professional work?

When I asked these questions to a former client of mine in our very first session, she was stumped. She was at a crossroads in her life, where she had essentially come to the decision to leave her job. But she was full of fear and unsure of what to do next. 

The only thing that she was sure about was that she could not stay where she was. It was no longer tenable for her.

In our next few sessions, we decided that she would work on identifying what her core values were. Because by gaining clarity on her core values, she would then be able to make intentional decisions about what her next steps would be. 

In this encore broadcast of the Rise with Clarity Podcast, I’m going to be discussing 4 tips on how to uncover and clarify your core values as they relate to your professional work goals.
