We’re all bound by the experience of feeling something so strongly within ourselves, that it guides everything we do; leading us to our ups and through our downs. Those feelings are our values. Values don’t just belong in the charter of a company, painted on the walls of a workplace. They reside at the centre of your life, guiding your every action. In the latest episode of ‘Everlutionary’, Hawah Kasat sits down with a global authority on values, Dr. Mandeep Rai - a journalist, academic, and author of the International Best-selling book, “The Values Compas.” Together, they explore the essential ways values shape us, why it’s so important to identify and name our own personal values, and how this recognition can evoke mutual understanding, collective empathy, and global healing.
What We Explore:
How to identify and prioritize your five core personal values for authentic decision-making
Why shared values like love, safety, and community transcend cultural and political divisions
The distinction between values (which unite) and beliefs (which divide) in addressing global conflicts
How privilege impacts our ability to act on environmental and social values, and ways to bridge this gap
The power of service and giving as universal values that can transform both giver and receiver
How to use values as a compass for making better life choices in relationships, career, and community engagement
