A great paradox in life is that limits can be liberating. Michelle Pollack urges us to embrace this concept for ourselves and our clients, which opens the door to values-based personal growth and authentic alignment.

Michelle Pollack is a Career and Leadership Coach and the creator of The Art of Compassionate Command.

In this episode, Melinda and Michelle talk about:

• Getting your internal and external perspectives into alignment
• How values play a role in that alignment
• Helping clients define their values
• Identifying values resistance and obstacles and overcoming them
• People-pleasing, perfectionism, and self-doubt
• Values questions on a client’s discovery or intake form
• How boundaries are freeing

“Values are really the ticket to fulfillment.”
