Those icky feeling are likely there because you don't clearly know what your top values are and how to use them in your leadership and your life.
You need to take time to verify your values, those things that are important to you so that you can use them to lead and live a full life!
- Do you ever feel off or discontent but not sure why?
- Do you feel inner turmoil about decisions you have to make or things you have to do?

Verifying your values is foundational work for leadership and more importantly, to lead yourself first.
Why is verifying your values foundational?

It's that simple. Aligning with your values is not always easy or comfortable but necessary for a happy and fulfilling life.

That will provide additional clarity for you when making decisions and taking action. |
