Unlocking Personal and Professional Growth Through RVA (Role & Value Alignment)
You know that feeling when you hit a turning point in your career or personal life, and suddenly realize it’s time to shift gears? That’s exactly what happened to me, and it led to the creation of a system called Role & Value Alignment (RVA)—a framework designed to help individuals, not just teams or organizations, align their personal and professional growth with their core values.
Why I Created the RVA
Like many of you, I’ve spent years honing my skills in leadership, customer experience, and team building. I’ve led global teams, made significant strides in the CX world, and created meaningful growth for those around me. But one day, I realized: I wasn’t applying the same level of intentionality to my own growth. I was driving everyone else’s success but neglecting my own journey.
That’s when the concept of RVA started to form.
After being introduced to various frameworks that provide clarity in business, I saw an opportunity to flip the idea. What if there was a way to align who I am with where I’m going, not just for my role within an organization, but in life? What if I could create a roadmap that would guide my decisions and keep me on track for both personal and professional success? And that’s how the RVA system was born—a framework designed to help individuals align their values with their career paths.
How It’s Helped Me
1. Clarity on My Role and Values
For years, I was focused on what I should be doing, but I lost sight of what truly mattered to me. The RVA allowed me to map out my role, not just in my career, but in my life. By defining my core values—what truly drives me—I could ensure that every role I pursued aligned with those values. It’s a powerful shift when you realize that your personal values don’t just guide your life; they should guide your career as well.
2. A New Approach to Career Opportunities
Defining my core values gave me the confidence to seek out roles that truly fit me, rather than trying to fit myself into roles that weren’t aligned with my strengths or goals. The RVA framework empowered me to not only celebrate the values that drive me but also understand how those values are assets that bring real, measurable value to the companies I work with.
3. A Roadmap for Growth
One of the best aspects of using the RVA system is how it takes broad concepts like values and vision and translates them into actionable steps. The RVA gave me a concrete way to break down my goals into smaller, manageable tasks, ensuring that my personal growth wasn’t overwhelming. It became a guiding framework for setting 1-year, 3-year, and even long-term plans, keeping me focused on both short-term wins and big-picture growth.
4. Focus and Accountability
Having my values and role clearly laid out in front of me created a sense of focus and accountability. It’s easy to get caught up in day-to-day tasks, but the RVA keeps me centered on my long-term vision. This system doesn’t just help me dream big—it helps me stay grounded in the actions I need to take daily to achieve my goals. The structure it provides has been invaluable for maintaining progress, even when life gets hectic.
5. Empowering Others Along the Way
As I worked through my own RVA, I realized it wasn’t just helping me—it was transforming how I coached and mentored others. The framework became a powerful tool not only in my personal development but in the growth of those I lead. By showing others how to align their roles and values, I’ve helped them create their own paths to success, both personally and professionally.
