Leading with purpose requires clarity. Know your values to create a life you want | Dr. SooJin Pate

About the Episode: To lead with purpose and connect to something greater than ourselves, we must get clear about the direction of our lives. We must pause and take a moment to reflect on the choices we make. We must constantly question why we’re doing what we’re doing and ask ourselves whether the things we do are in alignment with our values, beliefs, and who we truly are.
