Knowing your values is one thing. Expressing them clearly, confidently, and without hesitation is another.
When was the last time you openly discussed your values with others, whether loved ones, business partners, work colleagues, or friends? They are buried beneath strategy, expectations, or the demands of daily life. However, when you name them, everything sharpens: your decision-making, relationships, boundaries, and direction.
If you are leading others, this matters even more. People follow clarity, and clarity starts with knowing what you stand for.
