Step One: Determine Your Core Values
  • Do not overthink your selection.
  • As you read through the list, simply write down the words that feel like a core value to you personally.
  • If you think of a value you possess that is not on the list, write it down.

From the list below, choose and write down every core value that resonates with you.

Step Two: Group all similar values together into categories (max. 5 categories).
  • Group the values in a way that makes sense to you. There are no right or wrong answers.
  • If you have more than five groupings, drop the least important grouping(s).
Step Three: Choose one word within each grouping that best represents the label for the entire group. Write that word in the top row [light red].
  • Do not overthink these labels.
  • There are no right or wrong answers.
  • You are defining the answer that is right for you.
