Values are extremely important. They help us make choices among many alternatives. When we feel lost, disconnected, or confused, values can reorient us back to what matters. By clarifying our core values, we have a clearer sense of who we truly want to be, and what we want to stand for. Values are the selection criteria for action.

In this episode I walk us through a values clarification exercise by sharing an example of someone I admire, Pat Tillman. By identifying the personal qualities of people we admire, we can get clear about our own values. Tune in as I walk you through this powerful exercise to help you get clarity on your own values.
