What role do values really play in your procurement career?
In this episode, we explore why knowing and honouring your core values isn’t just a “nice-to-have.” It can be the difference between thriving in the right role and staying stuck in the wrong one.
When you’re clear on your values, you gain a powerful navigation system for your career. They shape your decisions, strengthen your leadership, and protect you from choices that may look good on paper but leave you feeling unfulfilled or misaligned.
We cover:
- Why values matter more than you think in career decisions
- How to spot when a values clash might be the real cause of frustration
- The difference between “non-negotiable” values and “nice-to-haves”
- How values show up daily, not just in big career moves
- Practical ways to use values as a filter for opportunities and relationships
We also share real examples of how values can guide difficult decisions, build stronger collaboration, and help you show up with greater confidence and clarity.
Thanks for joining, we’re so glad you’re here.
