Have you ever wondered how to differentiate the guiding convictions that define who you are from the fundamental truths that steer your behavior? This episode is for you!
In this episode, you’ll learn the difference between Core Values and Life Principles.
There are three quick steps to see if your Core Values are actually your Life Principles:
- Inside vs. Outside: It's essential to move from imitating others' principles to defining your own for sustainable, impactful leadership.
- Honoring vs. Aligning: Differentiate between honoring your values—holding them in great respect—and aligning with behaviors that might only modify your actions superficially.
- Your Authority vs. Someone Else’s Authority: See how reinforcing your authority helps you show up authentically, whereas borrowing someone else’s principles might not fully represent who you are.
Practically speaking, understand how both core values and principles give you a realistic roadmap for showing up as your best self.
By the end of this episode, you'll have a clearer understanding of how your Core Values act as your compass, while your Life Principles serve as your mode of transportation. You'll see how borrowing principles - like Intentional Optimism - can be a great starting point, but living out your own principles, aligned with your core values, is key to authentic and impactful leadership.
