What Are Your Values? 

What are values? 

Your values are the things that you believe are important in the way you live and work.

How Values Help You

Values can help you make large life choices like who you surround yourself with, what you do for a living, where you work, and where you live.

How Values Help You

1. If you value family, but you have to work 70-hour weeks in your job, will you feel internal stress and conflict? 
2. If you don't value competition, and you work in a highly competitive sales environment, are you likely to be satisfied with your job? 

• What job should I pursue?
  
• Should I accept this promotion? 
• Should I start my own business? 
• Should I compromise, or be firm with my position? 
• Should I follow tradition, or travel down a new path? 

TIP!!!

• Values are usually fairly stable, yet they don't have strict limits or boundaries. Also, as you move through life, your values may change.
  
• Keeping in touch with your values is a lifelong exercise.
