Needs + Values Glossary
Examine your core needs and values and discover your true leadership potential.
The journey forward starts with the journey within
Navigating the complexities of life and leadership often leads to a misalignment between our deepest needs, values, and daily actions. This misalignment can result in stress, dissatisfaction, and internal conflict, undermining both personal satisfaction and professional fulfillment.
Sublingual’s Needs+Values Blueprint offers a deeply personalized Needs & Values Analysis that helps you clearly understand and align your unique needs and values. This realignment is crucial for living a life that is successful both externally and deeply fulfilling internally.
Our model is grounded in over a decade of executive coaching and bolstered by Self-Determination Theory. By embracing this research-backed approach, you can realize your fullest potential, achieving both high performance and deep personal fulfillment.
Understand and Balance Your Core Needs and Values for a More Fulfilling Life
When our needs go unmet or our core values are not expressed, it can lead to significant discomfort and challenge. This misalignment may manifest as internal tension when conflicting needs and values—such as the need for security versus the desire for adventure—clash, making it difficult to achieve your goals and aspirations.
Integration of Needs and Values: Beyond Wants and Desires
Integrating our needs and values fosters intrinsic motivation, which leads to better performance and greater personal satisfaction compared to extrinsic motivation. Integrated strengths are incredibly effective as they harmonize different aspects of your personality, skills, and motivations. When your personal strengths align with both your needs and values, each component enhances the others, leading to a more unified and powerful approach to life and work. This integration fosters a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment because it ensures that your actions are not only impactful but also deeply resonant with your core beliefs and desires.
Leadership Insights: Thriving in Collaboration
Understanding the ways you thrive in collaboration with others is a crucial component of personal and professional development. Our Needs+Values Blueprint provides insights into how colleagues, friends, and family can best support and engage with you, aligning their interactions with your fundamental motivations.
