Discover your core values and find your place in life, love, and work.
We all want to be our most authentic selves in every space we are in―in our relationships, our work, and our communities. Yet so often, we feel a disconnect, a tension between who we are and what the people around us expect from us.
How do we find authenticity and fulfillment in every area of our lives?
This is the question at the heart of The Compass Within. In this enlightening workplace parable, Jamie Hynes is a high-achieving, early-career manager trying to reconcile his career ambitions with the ethically murky situations his new boss keeps putting him in. At the same time, Jamie and his new fiancée are busy planning their wedding, facing daily decisions about where they’ll live and how they’ll build a life together in a community where Jamie feels increasingly out of place.
When a member of Jamie’s Emerging Sales & Marketing Leaders forum shares how her life was transformed after she got clear on her values, Jamie takes notice―and soon finds himself meeting with Jack Reardon, the forward-thinking CEO of Compass Media. Jack mentors Jamie through a holistic process to discover his core values and align his life to them, prompting him to start making changes and ultimately find the job, partner, and community that will allow him to be his truest, most authentic self.
The process Jamie learns is a model for all of us: a way to connect deeply to the values and principles we care about, and a guide to making the tough calls sometimes necessary to find happiness in every area of life.
If you’ve been feeling stuck, The Compass Within is the comprehensive roadmap you need to gain greater clarity and courage—in life, in love, and in work.
