Episode Details

Do you know your values? You might think you know your values, but are you living your values, right now? 

In this short episode, Judy Oskam reflects on a recent experience she shared with her daughter, Danielle. Together, they attended the Becoming You intensive led by Dr. Suzy Welch at the NYU Stern School of Business. The New York workshop centered on values and purpose. It encouraged participants to explore what matters most and to design a life that aligns with those priorities.

Judy shares insights about tools such as the Values Bridge assessment, the Enneagram, and various aptitude tests. She also includes a short soundbite with Dr. Welch, about advice for new graduates.  Later, Dani offers her perspective on how what the process revealed to her.

• How the Values Bridge assessment measures the gap between your current and ideal life
• How Dr. Suzy Welch advises students to begin their careers
• What the “Four Horsemen” framework reveals about barriers to growth
