Values vs. Value: Balancing Personal
and Professional Expectations
Alma Derricks,
Educational Session Keynote
Stanford Women's Leadership Conference, Stanford, CA
While clearly
articulated goals, values, and expectations are vital to crafting a
meaningful personal life, building a successful professional life
requires that personal market value is equally well defined and
explicitly communicated to potential employers, clients, and other
benefactors. With an emphasis on balancing internally motivated
“inside out” thinking and externally-defined “outside in”
expectations, Values vs. Value explores the relationship between
personal and professional accountability and offers practical
strategies for developing a thoughtful career path that is both
satisfying and competitive.
