Core Values
These are the values which guide my life and work.
Agency
My number one, most important core value is “Agency.” Agency means the capacity to act independently and to influence one’s own life. Albert Bandura, an influential social cognitive psychologist, studied agency extensively. It is basically the degree to which you feel you have control over your mind, body, and environment. Your success in life depends on how much self-agency you have.
