1 BIG IDEA
Your Core Values aren’t a buzzword or a branding exercise—they’re your leadership blueprint. In fast-paced environments, they act as your internal compass, helping you stay grounded in who you are and lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

5 WAYS TO APPLY THIS

  • Use your Core Values as a real-time decision-making tool
  • Build awareness around how micro-decisions shape culture and trust
  • Reflect after high-pressure moments to assess value alignment
  • Incorporate weekly grounding practices to stay centered
  • Return to your Core Values when tech, timelines, or expectations create noise

3 QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF

  • What decision this week felt most aligned—or misaligned—with your Core Values?
  • How does honoring your Core Values bring clarity to your leadership?
  • Where do you feel pulled in multiple directions—and which Core Value could help you discern your next right step?
