As we pass the halfway point of 2025, now is the perfect time to ask: are you still living your core values?

In this special mid-year re-release, Tim Flanagan and Amanda Kramer revisit one of the most impactful conversations from earlier this year—centered around core values, vision, and a practical exercise to guide your growth.

Originally shared in January, this episode is just as relevant today. You’ll hear why values are more than words on a wall, how they influence decisions and culture, and what it really means to live them. Plus, Tim shares a timeless practice from a mentor—writing an “accomplishments letter”—that can help you reflect on the year ahead as if it’s already happened.

Whether you’re a business owner, team leader, or someone striving for personal growth, this is your opportunity to pause, reflect, and re-align.

• • Ask: Are your actions and outcomes still aligned with those foundational values?
  • Use structured tools—surveys, team check‑ins, scorecards—to assess alignment.

• • Reinforce your values in daily routines: meetings, performance reviews, peer shout‑outs.
  • Celebrate specific behaviors that exemplify your values.

• • Track engagement, retention, and customer feedback metrics associated with values-led initiatives.
  • Look for connections between lived values and impact—on performance, collaboration, and external results.

• • As Tim and Amanda reminded us, it’s not enough to simply define values; you must live them and evolve them as needed.
  • Revisit your vision for 2025: are the values still relevant? Do they still point toward your goals?
