Identifying Your Core Values

1. From the list below, select the Values you want others to associate with you. Whether they actually would or not, consider what you WANT others to associate with you.

2. Pick 5 or 6 that you absolutely will not live without… “I would never do that to anyone, or it would never enter my mind not to say….”

3. Write out your personal definitions and stories for each value, going into as much detail as possible. Take time to reflect by asking yourself questions, such as:

• What does this value mean to me?
• Where or who did this value come from?
• What memories do I have that are connected to it?
• What do I see as the benefits of this value for my future?

4. How would you practically live out each value? How would you behave? How would you talk? What would your actions be? Discover how your values would drive your behaviour.
