How Values Shape Us

Chris Chew

Cognitive Leadership Coach, Trainer,

Speaker and Consultant

From the moment we are born, the values of our family and society shapes our identity and our lives. Values influences our choices, from the type of foods you like eat to your desired career and even the person you choose to marry.

Values are things we personally regard as important, worthy, useful and good in our lives. They are the basis of our personal principles, behaviours and norms.

As Elvis Presley says, “Values are like fingerprints. Nobody’s are the same, but you leave ’em all over everything you do.”

If values are so important, why don’t understand them better? What is it about values that shapes who we are today and where we are going tomorrow?

Beautiful Quotes

In order for us to be effective in engaging with other people, we should start off with the proper mindset.
Value judgment is our perception of what is of greatest value to us in the moment. Every moment in our daily life, we make judgments.
How leadership is linked to value and value judgements is that first, you must understand how you value things, and next, cultivate mindful awareness which will lead you to good decision making.
