“If you can see your path laid out in front of you step by step, you know it’s not your path. Your own path you make with every step you take.” —Joseph Campbell
Values
We learn our authentic leadership style by checking in with what we value most. This is a question that many of my clients have never asked themselves. What do you most value? Not, what family values were you taught by your mother and father. Not, what moral code do we in the Western world subscribe to or what laws do we uphold. The values question is deeper than that and far more personal.
What do you care about deeply?
What is non-negotiable?
What makes you, you?
When we start to discover what we value, we begin the process of identifying our authenticity, and can begin working with what we value to share that authenticity with the world.
You might begin by asking yourself, “What do I care about most in life?”
Sit with this question for ten minutes now...it is bound to matter.
