Let's say you want to live as generous and kind that day - then you apply that to all your tasks. How you show up is a reflection of your values - your authentic self.

1 年Ayse B. Cinar -Award Winner Leadership and Wellbeing Coach These are great points ?? Being true to ourselves and our values is a key one for me. After all if we don't live by these values we can often become unhappy in our work and without realising it we can start to attract the wrong clients that are not aligned to our own values. This can make us feel stressed and ultimately contribute to burn out.
