From the list of values and adding any that you feel are more appropriate to you, circle the ten values that are most important to you, the ten that matter most
to you. For the purposes of this stage of the exercise, look for the ten that have the biggest overall impact on you. Later we will look at the key areas and roles
in your life and repeat the process. This process will be harder than you may imagine as there are a number of values you may initially think are important to
you, but perhaps they are inherited or no longer serve your best interests.
To show you how the process works, I have inserted ten example values in no particular order, in the boxes :-
1 What is important to you in life ? Love
2 What else is important to you in life? Honesty
3 What else is important to you in life? Fairness
4 What else is important to you in life? Peace
5 What else is important to you in life? Fun
6 What else is important to you in life? Forgiveness
7 What else is important to you in life? Well-Being
8 What else is important to you in life? Security
9 What else is important to you in life? Freedom
10 What else is important to you in life? Authenticity
Stage 2 – Your Hierarchy of Values
Having identified your ten core values, now it is time to prioritise them in order. This is called your “Hierarchy of Values” There are multiple reasons for you
not to rely on guesswork alone here. Only by comparison of each value against the others accurately, will you arrive at the true order of priority of your
values. You may have the instinct to write down love as your number one core value, only to find when comparing it one on one with others it appears lower
down the list. Trust the process, it works !
Again, in no particular order, insert the values in the comparison chart like the one below. The column headed ‘No’ contains two boxes, the top one is the
number of the value, the bottom one, shown in italics, is the count of each value.
How it works:- Write all your value choices in the column headed Governing Core Value, as in the example above. Then proceed to ask yourself the Page101
questions as follows :-
