Values vs Goals: What's the Difference?
A goal is an outcome you want to achieve. A value is a principle or quality you consider important.
Example
Value: learning. Goal: complete a data-analysis certification. Once the certification is completed, the goal is finished. The value can continue influencing future decisions.
Why the distinction matters
A person can achieve a goal and still feel dissatisfied if the process or outcome did not reflect what matters to them.
Your values can tell you what matters. Your gifts and skills can help reveal how you may express it.
