One of the main coaching areas for my clients are building their lives around their core values. Values like justice, creating relationships, family time, creativity, etc. do not do well when they are ignored or pushed to the back burner.
It has been an interesting study of visible people and their successes. When Bill Gates spoke at the TED conference this year, I realized that his core values must be around enabling the masses: Influencing massive amounts of people. He created a company that wants to put computers in every home and now, his philanthropic work is geared towards eradicating childhood diseases that cause high infant mortality in third world countries.
Many lovely coaching points in this video. He says, “There is no tough problem that does not have a solution.” I love it.
How has your business success helped you be creative in other areas of your life?
