Identifying our Values

“Living in a way that reflects one's values is not just about what you do it is also about how you do things.” 
― Deborah Day
 
In our last blog, we shared the importance of personal leadership and asked you to think about what your core values are and how you live them. To enable you to reflect on this question in more depth, in this piece we provide a list of values and an exercise to help you think about this and how you express your values through your work.
 
Please download the file below. On the first page is a list of values and on the next page there is the opportunity to capture these values and express what they mean to you and why.  Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work. Once you know them, you can then make sure that you are driving your direction to enable you to unleash your values-based potential. Use your values as a compass that guides you both in action and your decision-making process.
 
Instructions:

• Identify your 20 most important values, without trying to prioritise them, by circling 20 of the values below that most call to you. (You can write in other values not on the list.)
• Then distil them down to the 6 values most important to you. Capture what they mean to you and why.

Living our purpose: Travelling in the right direction by maximising our values
 
By reflecting on our values and how we express them, we can live them more often, more intentionally, more passionately and more effectively.
 
Take the Value you express most or least at work
 

• What does this Value mean to you?
• How do you live or express this Value through your work?
• What impact does it have on you and others?
• What 3 things could you do to express it more?
