Integrity is a powerful and profound concept.
In my opinion – misunderstood and overused.
But what does it *really* mean? And how can be applied to empower us instead of demean our sense of who we are?
In this episode (the season one finale) I cover three definitions of integrity:
1) Integrity is doing the right thing when no-one is watching – a relatively common description
2) Integrity is conforming your reality to your words – from Stephen Covey’s book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People*
3) Integrity is the state of being whole and complete – from an interview with Economist Michael Jensen “Integrity: Without it Nothing Works”

Ideas you can do today:
_Download and read the interview from point 3 above
_Make a list of the promises you’ve made to other people. Do a complete inventory. See what you notice about doing this – are there any conversations to be had?
_Make a list of any messes you’ve made in a relationship this week. From the small ones to the big ones. Get in touch with a smaller one on the list today and clear up the mess.
