As we focus this summer on values-based living, I’m excited to share this Millennial Spotlight episode featuring Jennifer Manuel, a fellow Sacramento-based Executive Coach specializing in helping leaders and individuals in transition define their values so they can live and lead authentically. Jenn is the Founder and CEO of the VIA Consulting Group and is passionate about creating spaces for women to thrive personally & professionally.
In this Millennial Spotlight, Jenn shares how…
- Values help us lead from a place of self-confidence and genuine humility
- Our values help us make better compromises
- To see things from multiple perspectives
- Values are more expansive across generations, rather than generation-specific
- Creating a self-reflective practice helps you lead from your values
