Episode Synopsis

As a coach, I get most of my clients to start with their personal vision, purpose, and values.  There is just a ton of science around how and why using vision and values helps you improve productivity and performance, find more profound well-being, and live a more fulfilling life.And, really who doesn't want that?In this episode, I explore the significance of personal values in decision-making, performance, and overall well-being. We touch on the psychology and neuroscience of why it works, so you understand their power. We also give you 8 specific principles you can use to create your values and a simple evidence-based 4-step framework for creating your values.Some key ideas from this podcast include:Personal values are enduring beliefs and principles that guide attitudes, behaviors, and decision-making processes.The neuroscience of values provides insights into how values influence thoughts, emotions, and decision-making.Key aspects of the neuroscience of personal values include neural representation, emotional and motivational significance, formation and development, cognitive and emotional processing, value conflict and decision-making, and the brain's plasticity.Personal values impact performance by providing motivation, guiding goal setting, aiding decision-making, fostering resilience and persistence, and enhancing overall satisfaction.Empirical studies show that aligning personal and organizational values leads to positive outcomes such as higher employee satisfaction, lower attrition rates, and willingness to take pay cuts for better value alignment.Principles for creating personal values involve self-reflection, identifying key areas where values play a role, prioritizing values, defining each value, aligning values with actions, seeking inspiration, and regularly reviewing and reassessing values.The five-step framework for creating values includes self-reflection, identifying important values, narrowing down to core values, defining each value, and applying values in decision-making and actions.Applying personal values in daily life and adjusting them based on experience and alignment with personal goals is crucial for personal growth and transformation.Instantly Unlock Performance, Well-Being and Balance Now The "Thrive Hive" is a monthly membership to help teach, coach and support individuals, organizational teams and their leaders in reaching their full potential, and living a flourishing life with balance and well-being.You get access to group coaching, monthly education, webinars/livecasts and other events, topic-based support and tools, and access to a private community of other like-minded individuals.You can find out more or sign up clicking here!
