experienced internal
conflict?
 A time when you said
yes but it felt like a no

or did something
which didn’t feel right
 A time when you saw
something wrong and
didn’t intervene
 Or…..something else

4.  When have you felt
completely in
alignment?
 A time when making a
big/significant decision
was easy
 A time when others said
you were wrong/foolish

good about yourself and
what you were doing

values

are in alignment

when we are in alignment
