Let’s face it, very few people wake up in the morning and think “I think I need some coaching”. Most of the time, we’re running from one thing to the next, trying our best, juggling life and work challenges, keeping our head above water. Throw in a global pandemic, and no wonder we’re all surviving rather than thriving.

How do we figure them out? And once you have defined them, then what? What does it actually mean to ‘live by your values’? By really honing in on my own personal values, it’s given me better self-awareness, and connection to myself. They feel like they sum up my attitude to life, which means I am much clearer about what I’m doing and why.

Most people will agree that the last year has been all about re-evaluating. I’ve heard a lot of people say “I’ve realised what’s really important”. But as the world starts to open up, it won’t be long before we’re back into the routine of life. More and more external factors will start to influence us, and we’ll be left wondering what happened to all the good habits we implemented, or the changes we wanted to make.
