Yesterday marked World Values Day, an annual event aimed at raising awareness and promoting the practice of values globally. This year’s theme, ‘Bringing Values to Life’, challenges us to reflect on the role values play in our personal and professional lives.
Did you take a moment to acknowledge it or did it simply pass you by? Have you thought recently about whether you’re living in alignment with your values? What about your company? Do the values resonate with your own or are they out of sync?
On a recent episode of The Barefoot Mediator Podcast with Jane Gunn, I shared a personal story about helping my daughter, Holly, discover her core values. It was an emotional experience, and after we completed the exercise, Holly felt as though it had revealed something profound for her. This moment led to me reflecting on how truly transformative understanding your values can be as it not only connects you to your purpose but also helps guide decisions and transitions in life with clarity and confidence.
On Jane's podcast, I also introduced the concept of ‘Tap into the Tingle’, something I explore further in my new book. These tingle moments - the goosebumps you feel in response to something meaningful – are powerful reminders of what moves you and what you stand for, bringing your core values literally right to the surface. So, next time you experience goosebumps, 'tap into the tingle' to identify what specific values are being surfaced.
Focus on World Values Day. Focus on WHY!
ACTION POINT - How are you bringing your values to life today?
