Discover What’s Important to You
Shouldn’t you be happy with your interior design career? You’ve got a job that many others can only dream of. But you’re not happy at work. In fact, you dread Monday morning. Often the reason for this is a clash between the expectations of others and what is fundamental to us
But before you conclude that you’re not happy because of your corporate interior design career, you should first unearth your core values. And despite them being so fundamental to who you are, your core values can be very often hidden from you. So take the first step to being more fulfilled, use the YourCoachApproach FREE value list exercise to discover what really matters to you
