Some of my coaching clients are leaving their current jobs because of burnout. Others say they want to live a life more aligned to their personal values. And others are starting their job search because they are underpaid and not being appreciated.

When there is uncertainty in a job search about what someone wants next, I often suggest doing an exercise that allows them to discover their personal values.

Here is a quick way to figure out what you value:

1)    Review your calendar – Who are you spending time with? What are the topics you are discussing?

2)    How do you spend your money?

Time is our most precious resource. And what you spend money on tells a story.

Here is a list of common personal values:
·       Health
·       Family
·       Friends
·       Sense of Purpose
·       Growth
·       Integrity
·       Respect
·       Kindness
·       Love
·       Gratitude

Do you have a personal value that is missing from this list?
