By your own definition, what exactly are values?
By your own definition, what exactly are values?
It's such an insightful point. Feeling like we're constantly fulfilling someone else's agenda that don't align with our own goals or values. It is easy to get lost in this sea, isn't it? Values like you mentioned can feel like abstract concepts until we truly define them in our lives. Take honesty, for example, is a value that sounds universal, but how we live it might differ vastly.

Robert, I'd love for you to share some specific values you've examined or highlighted in your work. Maybe ones that stood out or even surprised you in the importance. Walk us through a couple and ideas behind them. How do they resonate in a world where we often feel disconnected from what really matters?

You mentioned that one driving force behind publishing your book was seeing how powerful it is when people figure out the values, align the behaviors with them, and act on them. The results, as you've said, can be extraordinary. Could you share some examples from your coaching experiences, without naming names, of course, that highlight this transformation?

Stories where someone identified their core values, made changes to align with them, and saw incredible results. I think those examples could inspire and show us what's possible when we live in alignment with our values.

If values are so transformative and essential in shaping behavior and driving success, why do you think most people are unaware of their own values? Is it because they haven't taken the time to reflect? Or is it something deeper, like societal distractions, external pressures, or even a lack of understanding about how to identify values in the very first place?

Absolutely. You've touched on something so critical. Figuring out our values is challenging because, as you said, within absorbing others' expectation, whether from parents, schools, peers, or society, like a sponge for years, And when we don't consciously question or explore those imposed values, we can feel stuck or out of place without even understanding why.

In the workplace, this disconnect often manifests as frustration, disengagement, or being labeled as not a team player. But as you pointed out, is rarely about competence or work ethics. It's about a values mismatch.
