“Values” is just a label we use to contain the things that are important to us.
As a career coach, when I ask my clients this question, I usually get one of two answers. They either say “I’ve never actually thought about that…” or “Oh, easy. These are my values.” After more conversations, the first group often realizes that they do have some ideas about their values, and the second group realizes that their values are mostly just a list of words without substance.
Remember: This isn’t a one-time exercise. It might take a couple of weeks or months to stabilize your top values. Take the time to reflect and revise. When I did this exercise myself, it took me almost a year to find and stabilize my values. Gradually, I realized that “happiness” and “fairness” are essential to me. Later, I added “freedom,” which was so engrained in me that I could not identify it as quickly as the others.
At first, you may be tempted to write long paragraphs for each of your values to justify or explain them. But try to keep your definition as short as possible — you want to be able to easily remember your values and how you define them. Just one succinct sentence will do.
If one of your values is “optimism,” you can better approach challenging situations with a glass-half-full attitude. Did you not get the job? That’s fine — you got to practice interviewing and make some new connections. Are you overwhelmed by a busy schedule? You’ll be OK — look at how much you’re learning from these new experiences.
