Episode 3
Your Values
Career fulfillment is isn’t really about following your passion. Instead, it comes from building something that is in tune with your personal values. We all have a set of core personal values, but we rarely take the time to identify what they are. Once we do, we have a magical decoder ring for adapting our career to who we really are (and also explaining why we loved, hated or were ambivalent about past jobs). Michael explains what values are and how they work, and then does the “Peak Experience” coaching exercise with his intern, Harrison Ross. Once you hear it done, you’ll be able to do it yourself and with your friends.
