Evaluating Self Worth

Luke Sutton
About this episode

In the latest episode of Understanding Men, Luke and Fraser explore self worth and value. Digging deeper into the subject, they also aim to illustrate the difference between self worth and self esteem.


Considering the many areas of life that individuals may draw their value from, they touch on body image, profession and fatherhood as some personally significant areas. Drawing on the sporting world, they talk about the imbalance that they feel many athletes experience, where they may derive all value from their work and success, yet fail to nurture other important areas of their lives.


Finally, they address the importance of being recognised and valued for your work, and highlight how this helps to motivate an employee. As a parting note, they share the sentiment of how one should judge themselves by their intentions and not their outcomes. 


Luke and Fraser also want to hear from you! Let us know the subjects you'd like to hear more about, and what would help you start having those difficult conversations. Follow us on TikTok, YouTube and Instagram @understandingmenpod
