How Values Can Guide the Expression of Skills
Two people can possess the same skill and use it in very different ways.
A person with strong communication skills might use them in sales, education, advocacy, or leadership. The skill does not determine the application by itself.
A decision filter
If you value service, you may prioritize helping others. If you value innovation, you seek environments that reward experimentation.
Shaping preferences
Values do not mechanically determine career choices, but they shape preferences, priorities, and the environments where you choose to express your skills.
The core distinction
Skills answer: "What can I do?" Values help answer: "What matters about how I use what I can do?"
