Step 1: Self-Reflect
IN THIS LESSON
Our values influence our decisions, our behaviors, and even our happiness.
It all begins with your foundation. What’s important to you. Values are at the core of who you are and what’s important. Take 20-30 minutes to identify your values and reflect on these questions.
Reflection:
What do you value? Do you value integrity, adventure, and family? Do you value achievement, balance, and health? What are your values?
If you sit back and reflect, what does your intuition say? Let go of what you think you “should” value. Let go of what you’ve heard from friends and family of what you “should” value. Dig deep, what does your intuition say?
Our values influence our decisions, our behaviors, and even our happiness.
We use values, consciously and subconsciously, to prioritize our day, react to situations, and to sway our decision making.
When our values conflict with other people’s values, conflict may arise.
When we’re not living in alignment with our values, we may not be happy.

Are the organization’s values in alignment with yours?
These are all insights that can help you figure out what you really want for your next job.
Now that you’ve identified or re-visited your values, you can make them an integral part of your job search.
