Once you know what your core values are, you need to define what they really mean to you, what it looks like for you to express that value in your work. No dictionary can define your values for you.
You must articulate yourself what it means to live your values.
To do this, you’ll need to break free from the pull of inherited definitions and seek to honestly and courageously think for yourself. In developing a unique meaning for each of your values you start to shape your own definition of leadership and what it means for you to live authentically.
For example, one of my core values is service.
My definition of service is: To act in ways that support others to discover and act on their deepest truth. In my work this means taking time to listen to others deeper needs; asking questions to help them find their own solutions; making sure that I focus on what matter most – not just on quick fix solutions. These definitions allow me to reflect on the degree to which my daily actions express my values.
Write down your individual meaning for each of your three core values. What does it mean to you to live this value fully and authentically?
