The Journey to Discovering Core Values

Being in a career transition journey for almost a year, it took me three months to find my core values. They have taken on a new shape, and I am happy to continue building on them.

As a people person, my core values from training, developing, and growing talents have expanded to a wider picture that includes much more than they used to. Here are some key values that have shaped my journey:

Personal Accountability

This is best emphasized through my favorite question of, "At the end of the day, whose head do you have on your pillow?" It encourages personal responsibility and self-reflection, reminding us that we are accountable for our actions and decisions.

Inspiration Over Dictation

I believe in inspiring teams and changing perspectives rather than imposing directives. True leadership comes from motivating and uplifting others, not from dictating their actions.

Understanding and Empathy

Valuing the importance of knowing and understanding each other's lifestyles is crucial for successful team functioning and effective leadership. Empathy allows us to connect deeply with others and fosters a supportive work environment.

Sustainability

Actively promoting sustainability is a significant part of my values, illustrated by programs like the Accor School For Change training program. Sustainability is not just about the environment; it's about creating lasting positive impacts.

Focusing on personal development regardless of circumstances is essential. I encourage this within my teams, fostering a culture of growth and learning.
