THE VALUE OF VALUES WORKSHEET

Your Values are what are most important to you in the way you live and work. Identifying your Values helps you understand what drives you and shapes your behaviours. By building a life and aligning our behavior with our values we create a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.

The Values '"List" below will give you some examples of values. We are each unique, so there will undoubtedly be words that are missing from this list, or different words that sum up your Value better. If so, feel free to add those words to the list below.

NB. Values change over time, and deepen as you understand yourself better – they are always moving. Your Values can also be situational - so what is true for you at work may not be true for you at home.
