One way to grow your self-awareness is to clarify and articulate your core values. Understanding your— and others'— core values can lead to several benefits:

• Clearer and more confident decision-making. 

• Inspired action-taking. 

• Ease of identifying the right stakeholders you want to partner with— investors, employers, advisors.

• Better trust and alignment with people in your life— colleagues, reports, partners, family, and friends.

• Greater personal satisfaction and fulfillment.
