Community Circles gave me the tools and language I needed – and didn’t realize I was missing – to align my behaviors, thoughts, and values. Aligning more with my values in my day-to-day and focusing on the strengths we identified to support those values has helped me feel more fulfilled and empowered, professionally and personally. I have felt more secure having difficult conversations at work and can articulate my thoughts better now that we discussed values. I am also eager to reflect on my values and life to generate some big picture goals and start working toward them, as I have felt a little lacking direction lately. Beyond the personal takeaways, it was also a really amazing, inspirational experience just listening to the other women in the group talk about what drives them, what they are working on, and how they view life. Surrounding myself with people working on growth made me feel motivated to also work on my own best potential.
