During the interview, Anese provided a simple strategy to discovering your core values. Knowing, and staying true to, your values, increase confidence. Here’s a part of the process to get you started—Take note:

• What pisses you off, irritates, or angers you? Why?
• Where you do tend to spend your money?
• What’s most important to you?

To show up powerfully,

• Reboot your presence in the moment—get intentional about the impact you want to make and how you want to feel.
• Set intentional outcomes for your meeting, day, month, year, etc.
• Take good care of yourself—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
