Self-awareness is key to growth. If we don’t practice it, we are not able to help others around us as much as we could.Robert Glazer is the founder and CEO of Acceleration Partners and has become a recognized global leader in the affiliate and partner marketing industry, receiving numerous industry and company culture awards.Roughly 7 years ago at a leadership event, Robert, eventually came to a realization that one of his core values is “figure out a better way to do things and to share it.” This has been a guiding principle for Bob since. Robert has gone on to write 4 books including Elevate and Friday Forward, which is based off of his critically acclaimed newsletter that we love.Through this work, Robert has committed to helping others find and understand their core values as well. He has recently created a “Discovering and Developing Core Values” course to identify, articulate and apply core values in your life and career.
