Integral Values

Values form an indispensable part of our fundamental beliefs. Some values are inculcated into us by our parents (remember….values are caught not taught!!), others we learn by trial-and-error, yet some others we learn in the course of our lifetime. All these create the person we are.

It’s also important to remember that individuals don’t necessarily choose their core values. An integral value is only true if it has an active influence and if we manage to live by it, at least most of the time. They influence and mould the existing character of a person. They impact decisions, actions, aspirations and achievement.

Often, we are fully aware of the changes we need to make, but are unable to make them. You may already live by strong core values without realizing it. To get a sense of what your integral values are, ask yourself what activities bring you the most joy, or what you couldn’t live without. What gives your life meaning or what do you want to achieve? If you can articulate those answers, you’ll likely see a pattern that you can boil down into a single concept, such as a consistently positive attitude or using your creativity to make the world a better place.

The integral values that are central to me have a lot to do with the sense of achievement that the client feels. Striving for excellence in teaching, learning and support is achieved through these integral values… going that extra mile to create memorable and pleasant experiences for all by empowering you with values that last a lifetime.
