“There are no guarantees in the arena. We will struggle. We will even fail. There will be darkness. But if we are clear about the values that guide us in our efforts to show up and be seen, we will always be able to find the light. We will know what it means to live brave”
These are some dark times.
Many of us are looking around searching for the light. hoping someone or something comes along to guide us, lead us, liberate us and give us permission to live the life we know we desire to live.
Here is the thing – no one is coming to save you. No one is coming to save me.
You will need to cultivate the light you are seeking.
The light you are seeking is in you.
But you will need to cultivate it. And you cultivate it by cultivating your values. It is why my slogan is “Cultivate your light.”
In the past decade of my practice as a physician coach and increasingly a coach for servant-leaders and other mission-driven heart centered professionals, I have noticed something powerful.
No topic has been as seismic shifting, life-changing for my clients as Values work.
As idealists who desire to make a positive impact in the world, our values are everything to us.
Living out of alignment with our values can create deep pain, make us feel lost and disoriented in our lives and push us to the edge of burnout and disillusionment as we realize that the way we are living is unsustainable.
It blows my mind every time I see it.
Like clockwork, as soon as I begin coaching clients on discovering or uncovering their values, clarifying them, aligning with their values and creating habits to embody them, living their values on a day to day moment by moment basis, the shifts that happen are truly stunning.
Clients go from the edge of burnout, disillusionment, feeling lost to being energized, hopeful, motivated and even dreaming again. It’s as if their hero’s journey clicks into place and their people, mentors, opportunities, start to show up. The ripples spread into the priority areas of their lives, transforming their relationships with themselves, spouses/partners, children, work, community and beyond.
Values light the way.
You can’t enter any arena and survive without going in with your values.
They inform the lens with which we view the world. They are the GPS, the compass that guide us. They are the beliefs that are most important to us, that help us find our way when things are difficult, that fill us with a sense of purpose.
Values define us.
They show us who we are at our best. They are filters we use to make hard decisions. And when we are out of alignment with them, we feel disoriented, lost, burned out, unlike our authentic selves and out of sorts.
In my coaching, I have found that setting boundaries is impossible without knowing what our values are.
Living into our values is also a skillset of courage and daring leadership.
When organizations come into alignment with the values they profess, their employees start to experience improved wellbeing and lower levels of burnout and disillusionment.
Living into our Values is also a powerful part of rising strong from falls, failures and disappointments.
During my consultation sessions, I always ask prospective clients about their values. The length of time it takes for them to answer often points to the underlying causes of the pain, burnout and disillusionment they are experiencing.
