#39: UpSkill — Build a Sustainable Values Foundation for Your Life

Whatever you think, say, decide or do in life is based on your values. Values are the things we believe deeply. They affect how we live and work with others, how we treat others and how we allow ourselves to be treated by others. They impact the quality of leader that we can ever be and the quality of outcomes we will be able to get from our people. In the episode, Michel provides clear steps to identify your values and use them to guide how conduct yourself so that you build your vision and achieve your goals on a solid foundation.Values are the fingerprints that show up on everything we do in our work and in our world. Core values are the set of values that define who we are. They help others to be able to predict what we're likely to think, say, decide or do in any given situation. These values define the core of who we are.  Imagine if you're building a house from scratch, you would be thinking about the design, how many features, how you'll enjoy it, how you use it, but do you ever stop to think about the kind of foundation that's necessary for this house to be stable and safe for you to use.That's pretty much what happens when we think about our vision, we think about what we want to achieve, what it will be like, what the benefits will be and what we will be doing. Rarely do we stop to think about the values that are important to set the foundation for this vision and for our goals to be sustainable.Core values are not easy to live by. If they were easy to live by, this is not the kind of society we would live in. Core values are however essential for improving the way we live with each other and the way we feel about ourselves.At UpSkill, we are building a community of UpSkillers, learning and growing together.Please listen, subscribe and share!With decades of combined leadership experience, team of coaches, facilitators and subject matter experts can help to UpSkill your organization. We offer corporate training, coaching, e-learning courses and consulting services for:Inclusive LeadershipDiversity, Equity & InclusionCommunicationSoft Skills Senior Leadership TrainingEmail us: [email protected] Learn more: www.upskillcommunity.com
