Download MP3

Research shows that when people act on their core values, they are more engaged with their work, more fulfilled in their lives, and more likely to attract people and experiences that build their success. Dr. Tom Epperson, president of InnerWill Leadership Institute, coaches leaders to ignite human potential by transforming an organization’s culture with clear core values. Having experienced firsthand the impact of transitioning from a profit-centered business to one that seeks to serve the community, he now helps others make choices that line up with what’s truly important to them. 

Before an organization can align with its core values, leaders must be able to clearly define their values. This takes work! One way to discover your core values is by reflecting on where you spend your time, money, and energy. Some best practices for implementing values-based leadership in business and at home are building awareness, realizing potential, developing relationships, taking action, and reflecting on choices. Tom utilizes these interconnected approaches to help leaders develop into impactful pillars in their communities. After all, strong leaders lead by example. With intentional action, leaders can create thriving businesses and relationships built on a solid foundation of integrity.
