Kindness
Kindness is not the same as being nice. Sometimes being kind means telling hard truths. But being kind means always prioritising people's well being. One of the main ways that kindness manifests at work is in psychological safety.
My core values.
One of the most helpful things you can do to understand yourself better is to determine what your core values are. For a quick guide to how to find your core values, check out my YouTube video.
Here are my core values, all of which show up in my coaching sessions.
Integrity
Integrity means not giving up on your values. It is about honesty and straightforwardness, but it's also about acting out your values every day.
Mastery
Mastery is about continually learning, continually improving and caring about the work you do and its quality.
Control
For me, control means that I like to understand the decisions that affect me and like to have a say in how I work and what I work on. In particular, it's important to me that I work in ways that align with my values.
Happiness
This is what it's all really about. Nothing matters if you're not happy. The overall goal of my coaching is to help people find true happiness both at work and at home.
Independence
Perhaps this explains why I'm an independent coach, and not an employee of a coaching firm.
