Grow your confidence by aligning with yourself.
Focusing on your values reminds you of what’s really important and puts the stressors like uncertainty and overwhelm that lead to issues like imposter syndrome and employee dissatisfaction into perspective. Research studies have shown that those who think about their highest values before a stressful event actually experience less stress and show a substantial decrease in the stress hormone, cortisol, compared to control groups.

Ways to use Core Values when finding a mentor
Sharing values with your mentor
A mentor that understands what matters most to you could provide more suitable guidance than a mentor matched based on professional background alone. Most of our mentees have reported that working with those that share aligned core values have helped increase their sense of belonging, personal growth, and motivation! We encourage you to find mentors that share similar values as you for a smoother connection.
Mentor with differing values
A mentor that has different values from you could provide new perspectives that you may not have thought of before. Some of our mentees reported that they can grow professionally by learning new ways to view a situation they are in. If you are looking for a new approach to a career-related concern, we encourage you to find mentors that have differing values from you.
