Redefining Values: Insights from a Transformative Conference

Redefining Values: Insights from a Transformative Conference

September 25, 2026•2 min read

This week, I had the incredible opportunity to attend a conference that significantly shifted my perspective on the life I am building. One of the speakers, Cameron Herold, creator of COO Alliance, delivered a thought-provoking line that struck me hard: "Show me your calendar, and I'll tell you what you truly value."

This simple yet profound statement resonated deeply, urging me to reflect on how our daily schedules may often contradict our proclaimed values. How frequently do we say we cherish family, personal growth, or health, only to realize that our calendars may be filled with activities that do not align with those priorities? It was a powerful reminder to realign and ensure that our time reflects what truly matters.

As if that wasn't enough, Steven Bartlett, host of The Diary of a CEO, took the stage shortly after and delivered a message that was nothing short of a wake-up call. He challenged us to constantly redefine ourselves, stating, "There's no such thing as things that are not you." It made me consider how often we box ourselves in with self-limiting beliefs, labeling things far too simply: "I'm not creative", "That's not my strong suit."

Bartlett's message was an invitation to challenge our narratives and explore the dimensions of ourselves that we've never allowed to flourish. What if I stepped outside those self-imposed boundaries? What if pursuing those interests I'd long dismissed could unlock new paths in my life?

The essence of what I took away from this experience is about courage and active engagement in reshaping who we believe we are. If we can look closely at our calendars and assess whether the ways we spend our time match our core values, we empower ourselves to make more conscious choices.

Today, I invite you to reflect on your calendar. Are you prioritizing what truly matters to you? What self-limiting beliefs might you need to challenge? Let's take these steps together in our journeys of exploration and discovery.

As you consider redefining your path, know that I am here to support you.
