Day One: Tough Conversations and Value Systems

Yesterday ended with a tough conversation that we had to have with one of our guys. We’re trying to walk with him through the poor decision making that continues to happen day after day. It can be hard to continuously keep a positive outlook when everything around you seems dark and burdensome. One of the most important things we find is the set of values that differ from person to person. A big part in changing someone’s decision making process is looking at the set of values and seeing what can be altered. For example, our culture values money far more than we should. This has manifested itself into the lives of every person we have worked with. So the question is, how do we help them see that while money is a necessity, it’s not everything?
