Integrity: Living Your Values

• Integrity in Action.
• Integrity in Relationships.
Practicing Integrity
Integrity requires consistency and intentionality. Here’s how to strengthen it:
1. Know Your Values
Reflect on what matters most to you. Clear values make it easier to act with integrity.
2. Do What You Say You’ll Do
Follow through on your commitments. Reliability is a hallmark of integrity.
3. Own Your Mistakes
When things go wrong, take responsibility. Admitting and learning from mistakes builds credibility.
Integrity in Leadership
Leaders with integrity inspire trust and loyalty. They make decisions based on principles, not convenience, and prioritize long-term respect over short-term gain.
Ask yourself:
• How can I better align my actions with my values?
• What’s one commitment I can honor today to build trust?
Taking Action
Think of one decision you’ve been avoiding. Make it today, guided by your values and principles.
Integrity is the foundation of character. When you lead with integrity, you lead with strength.
