Mr. Vijaykrishna joined "Effective Leadership," a bundled leadership coaching program. They contain a series of coaching programs built on the inside-out framework, which makes one blossom?? as an effective leader

One program he attended that served his ask was the "Leadership Values" program. This program creates awareness of innermost core values. Core values act as a guiding light from the inside.

In addition to finding core values, participants also get exposure to the "Barret Consciousness Framework"

This awareness had multiple trickle-down benefits across his personal and professional environments. Vijay discovered his core values are mapped to Barrett's Leadership Consciousness Framework, which clearly showed how his energies are focused.

After finishing the program, when asked, Vijay explained the many Personal and professional benefits he derived by attending this program.

Some of the personal benefits that he highlighted were,

??In a world where change is constant, awareness of core values gave him an anchor to navigate ambiguity. To align with the purpose, live a meaningful life, connect my skills and passions to my highest values, and help myself and my team members grow as better people.

??Ease decision-making based on core values without being impacted by other influential factors.

??Getting better clarity on his core values and aligning his Life's direction toward them gave him much-needed purpose and meaning. Felt better attuned to living a more fulfilling and spiritual life.

?? Getting a better sense of values meant appreciating these factors and the resultant circumstances, events, and experiences that had shaped his core values.

In addition to personal benefits, he derived a more significant impact at the workplace. He managed many situations with ease.

??Fixation of core values with professional goals to progress more effectively and efficiently in career

??In his day-to-day activities leading his team, Vijay found that his conduct and actions were more effective once he was able to align his behavior to his core values

?? Life and environment don't remain static, and Vijay could appreciate that his core values needed to be adapted and even altered depending on the demands of time, circumstances, and experiences.

?? Bringing the self and the team on board a set of shared core values or moral and ethical principles helped create a more cohesive atmosphere. Vijay's core values aligned with team and organization proved effective in driving the achievement of organizational objectives and strategy
