A Tale of Two Stories
In this section, I would complete an exercise call “Tale of Two Stories” and recall two different situations in my life that I have encountered when my values conflicted with what I was asked to do. This exercise is designed to help me identify and develop what is necessary to achieve to find how I would voice and act on my values in my life.
