Values

My aunt, with whom I lived for five years beginning at age eight, never spoke about values—but you always knew where she stood. Her quiet consistency taught me early on that principles aren’t things we talk about; they’re things we live by.

Recently, in a leadership session, a client asked, “Our values are clear—so why do we keep losing our way?” As we explored further, it became clear: the issue wasn’t the values themselves. It was the absence of the principles that ground them—and the practices that bring them to life.
