Episode notes
Origin of 'Becoming You' Method
- Suzy Welch created the "Becoming You" methodology to find one’s authentic purpose by exploring values, aptitudes, and economically viable interests.
- She began teaching it after personal loss and later wrote a book to share this life-changing process beyond her NYU students.
Values vs Virtues Explained
- Most people don't truly know their values and confuse values with virtues like integrity.
- Values are deeply personal choices that drive decisions, and few people can clearly define or authentically express them.
Manage Conflicting Values Deliberately
- When values conflict, like family centrism and achievement, manage them deliberately by acknowledging and balancing trade-offs.
- Ignoring these conflicts leads to stress and living in default reaction, not intentional design.
