What's Next! with Tiffani Bova Unlocking Your True Direction with Robert Glazer
Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.
This week, I’m joined by Robert Glazer. Robert is a #1 Wall Street Journal, USA Today, and international bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and the founder of Acceleration Partners, a $50M global partner marketing agency known for its award-winning culture. He is also the creator of Friday Forward, a weekly inspirational newsletter read by over 200,000 professionals in 60+ countries. And he has a new book out called The Compass Within.
THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…leaders, founders, and professionals who want to align their decisions with their core values and lead with greater clarity and authenticity.
TODAY’S MAIN MESSAGE…in fast-moving and uncertain times, it’s easy to get pulled in different directions. Robert Glazer believes the antidote is grounding yourself in your values. Your "compass within" not only guides your personal and professional choices but also determines how you lead, build trust, and shape culture. By knowing what truly drives you, you’ll make better decisions, connect more deeply with others, and avoid environments that drain your energy.
KEY TAKEAWAYS…
-
Your values act as a blueprint for better decisions at work and in life.
-
Leaders unconsciously lead from their values—knowing them makes you more effective.
-
High-performing teams thrive when individuals share and honor their core values.
-
Self-awareness is the foundation for authentic leadership and sustainable growth.
WHAT I LOVE MOST…Robert’s reminder that many of us only realize our values when they’re crossed—what he calls the “electric fence test.” By identifying them earlier, we can make intentional choices that help us thrive instead of simply reacting when something feels wrong.
