Do you ever wonder why some people seem to have it all together or bounce back quickly when life throws them a curve? The truth is you can too. For those who found their secret sauce and inner strength to remain grounded, it took some work. But the good news is that it is available to you or anyone who desires to live authentically from their truest self.
This blog post provides a tool we use with our clients and find extremely helpful on that path to greater self-understanding. As you read on you might ask yourself;
What would life look like if I responded to what life brings my way rather than reacted?
What if my responses were led by or driven by my core values?
Would my life and relationships look different?
Let’s talk about core values
Our core values are the guiding principles that dictate behavior and help us distinguish the difference between right and wrong. Core values can be an enduring guide to help us know if we are on the right path toward living a fulfilling life and achieving our goals.
If this is your first introduction to the concept of core values or if you’d like a refresher, I would love to share with you a complimentary abbreviated version of the Cove Values Index (CVI) assessment. It takes about ten minutes to complete and will help to identify your Primary and Secondary value sets. Click here to take the abbreviated CVI assessment.
In a broader application, the Core Values Index (CVI) can also be used with a work team or a whole family to strategize ways that each member is able to live and lead from who they are instead of leading from one’s weaknesses.
Discovering who you are and the core values that drive you include discovering:
Your learning style
How you are wired
How you deal with conflict
The beautiful thing is that it can bring to light learning strategies to overcome your weaknesses and find those strategies that will serve you well in your life.
There’s never been a better time to know who you are and why you were created. Now is the time to get to know yourself and allow your secret sauce to shine forth into this world.
There is only one YOU! Let it shine.
