Virtues and Character Strengths

In this episode, we will talk about how to discover our character strengths and then how to put them to work in our lives. We will dive into a discussion on the relationship between and virtue and values and why understanding that correlation is such an essential building block to who we want to become.

We will talk about how values that are rooted in virtue can significantly alter our lives and allow us to experience “flow state” in any area we choose.

Join us as we discuss the pursuit of moral excellence through virtue and the life changing tools that we all already have within us.

“Most people think that experience is the greatest teacher. Experience doesn’t teach a lot of people anything. A lot of people have a lot of experience but haven't learned anything. Examined experience is the key”
