Understanding and Expressing Personal Values

If you don’t know your core values, you can end up being wildly successful, but miserable. If you don’t know your team members’ core values, they’re probably going to leave. Today, our colleague Mark Donohue, joins us to talk about what core values are and how to discover them.  

We talk about how core values are factual, not aspirational. They aren’t what you aspire to be, but who you are at your core right now. By identifying them, you can better align your decisions with your sense of fulfillment, both in your professional and personal life. 

Mark walks us through the process of identifying them, and how they may change over time. We also talk about how to manage conflict around people’s unique core values, finding counterbalances and new ways of doing things.

Plus, we have a little fun with each other about our core values– it can be pretty amusing and endearing when you know your co-workers’ core values.
