Hi there,

I suggest you name 2-3 of your values and give an example of how they could affect your work / life.

e.g.: Honesty - i am honest when giving feedback to my colleagues and I expect the same from them

Hard work - if i have to do a task, I do my best

Family - i take care of this part of my life. i.e. i need to be very organized at work to not steal time from spending with my beloved ones

etc.

Cheers,

GB

Failures are okay, if you learn from them and don´t repeat them. Going out of your comfort zone to grow as a person. Take a step back sometimes and reflect your work

Integrity - I will never do anything that will hurt the trust someone places in me 

Perseverance - Never give-up attitude. Find a solution no matter what and get back up

Joy - Life is too short to dwell in negativity. Look for joy in little things

I live by the values of impact, discovery and teamwork. Impact, as improving the world or the life of people around me drives me; discovery, as discovering and learning about new things, people and places makes life joyful and triggering; teamwork, because sharing the achievement or experience of great things in life is the best things there is.

I live by the values of honesty and integrity. I believe that all interactions should be just and truthful. I also aim to achieve-high and finish whatever I do with excellence. I enjoy teamwork as it creates a synergy that eases the process, if done efficiently.
