047 | Discovering your values to help your HR career, with Zoe Hawkins

Discovering your values can help your career in a huge variety of ways...

• Not sure whether to change career because you hate your job? - Understanding your values can help you figure out whether you’re unhappy because of a values clash at work, or if a complete career change could be best.
• Experiencing friction with someone else at work? - Knowing more about your values can help you pinpoint whether it's differing values that are at the root of the problem.
• Feeling a bit flat in your current role? Finding ways at work to lean into your values more can help re-energise you.

In this Episode of HR Coffee Time, Career Coach Fay Wallis takes a deep dive into values as a topic and demonstrates a values elicitation coaching exercise with Coach Trainer and Director of In Good Company, Zoe Hawkins.
