Challenging Times in January
January has proven to be a challenging start to the year for many, including dealing with unexpected events like a COVID diagnosis over Christmas for some. The difficulties faced in January have been widely experienced, with many having to adapt to last-minute changes and rearrangements, reflecting a general sense of struggle and disarray during this period.
Approach to New Year Resolutions
The podcast explores the host's dislike for traditional new year resolutions and the pressure associated with them. Instead, the focus shifts to a values exercise aimed at facilitating personal growth and alignment with values. By operationalizing values into behaviors, individuals can navigate personal development without succumbing to external pressures or predefined resolutions.
Identifying Core Values
An exercise to identify core values encourages participants to circle up to 15 values that resonate with them from a comprehensive list. The challenge lies in narrowing down this selection to one or two essential values that fundamentally define individuals. Through introspection and reflection on behaviors aligned with these identified values, the exercise aims to foster personal growth and authenticity.
Living into Values and Accountability
The conversation delves into personal examples of living into core values such as courage, faith, and growth. The importance of self-accountability and behavioral alignment with values is emphasized, with a recognition of the need to address behaviors that deviate from these values. By acknowledging the significance of faith, growth, and courageous self-exploration, individuals can actively engage in personal development and self-improvement.
We’re back, and we are starting the year with a deep dive into values. I’m not a fan of resolutions, but I absolutely believe in the power of resetting. I can’t think of a more powerful way to double down on ourselves than getting clear on our values and the behaviors that support them — and the shit that gets in the way. Join us as Barrett and I talk through a values exercise PDF that we made for you to do your own values work. Of all the work we do with leaders and teams, this is probably the biggest game changer. Let’s go!
