RSSI lost them somewhere

Yesterday my new boss sent me an itinerary of how my first day is going to go. It’s packed. I’m a little worried about 10am-11am, when we’re going to discuss the ideal Practice Manager position, Laurie’s vision and core values.
Vision I have no problem with. I am your go-to visionary person. If anything I see too much of the big picture, and not enough of the details.
But my core values? I joked today that I lost them about four years ago…and then fell silent, because it’s true. I attended a lecture by Shawn McVey in 2008 or 2009 about authenticity (very similar to this article) and I remember thinking “this is what I have lost sight of. This is what I’m missing.” I suspect now that it was a source of a lot of my stress and anxiety about working at this (my current) practice. The practice itself didn’t have firm core values (aside from the obvious) and the target was constantly shifting.
This new job is going to be a culture shock I think.
