If we aren’t skilful then we often end up being compliant or defiant neither of which brings long lasting results.

If we ignore or suppress our values too often then we are compliant. Have you ever said yes, when you meant no? Brushing things under the carpet and choosing not to get involved. Often we have the skills in place but not enough recognition of our values to guide us.
