What are CORE VALUES?
It’s what’s important to you
It’s an emotional state all humans move towards
It drives your thoughts and actions every second of every day 

It’s a set of personal rules, principles and fundamental truths that 
give us the fuel and motivation to lead a 
meaningful, pleasurable and purposeful life.

It’s an emotional state all humans move towards
Core values are generally discovered, not designed

You can’t touch, smell, taste, see or hear your core values.  
But you can feel it 
inside you leading and guiding you all the time
It’s an emotional state all humans move towards

From an email exchange with Sebastien, REV's new intern coming from around the globe in France!  I shared an inspiring TED video with him and this is his response.  

"I love the video with Simon, I watched it this morning it's very good for begin the day with energy. I like his concept of What, How and... Why !  Now I understand better what REV is always talking about, especially about the values of your company.  'People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it. ' It's very interesting! 

Is this what REV does?"

Are you ready to recover from a horrible presentation?
Ouch, we've all had bad presentations but this one is hilariously horrible. 
Thanks to some quick thinking and obviously a lot of practice, this short slideshare goes from bad to worse and thankfully back to good.
I do like a happy ending, don't you?
