Authentic Excellence Initiative

The Authentic Excellence Initiative is a multi-layered program designed to promote flourishing and resilience. The program explores the difference between “fear-based excellence” and “authentic excellence,” and how they relate to resilience, fulfillment, and productivity. 

Publicly available to explore at your own pace, the Life Values Inventory provides values clarification by helping you to better understand what currently guides your behaviors and the expression of values through your life roles. When you're ready to deepen your relationship and expression of those values, moving from clarification to self-development, the companion text Authentic Excellence: Flourishing & Resilience in a Relentless World is available for loan at the McLeod Tyler Wellness Center.
