My Professional Philosophy (and Why You Also Need One)
We all know how important is the integrity in life and business. Sometimes, though, it is not very clear how to achieve it. Simple solution: You need a reference framework.

Sometimes, though, it is not very clear how to achieve it.
Simple solution: You need a reference framework.
If you act with integrity (as a person and/or as a brand) you feel good. Stress levels are lower. You can make decisions faster and follow a meaningful direction.
How to get there?
You need a reference framework. The process works like this:
- This is my reference framework which declares how I act in different situations.
- Here is a situation?
- If I act as I said in the reference framework, I demonstrate integrity and feel satisfied and even proud.
- If my actions don’t overlap with my framework, I feel bad, stressed and miserable.
The Components
This reference framework is personal, work or brand philosophy which usually includes three important elements:
- Values
- Beliefs
- Rules
Even if you think you don’t have a philosophy, actually you have. It is just not documented yet. If you put it in writing, you will gain crystal clarity and a firm foundation for integrity and professionalism.
