Discovery of Core Values
Who am I as a person. The principles that are not negotiable in your life.
Big 3 areas

(might be connected with [[The Big Five for Life]])
People need a meaning to derive motivation. Searching for meaning is a great motivation by itself.
Manage fears by pursuing them.
- Paradoxical intervention e.g. Try to blush when in front of others (when you fear blushing)
To find core values - connect to situations when core values were violated.
Principles to consider:
- be prepared
- showing up honest, transparent, vulnerable creates trust
- schedule based on priority
- ability to manage time
Priorities
Consider the 4 domains Family, Business, Community, Self
- set 3 highest priorities in each
- define key activities for each priority and use calendar blocking

Qualities of core values
- connect to who you are in your core
- reflect YOUR differentiated point of view - describe you well
- best phrased as short & action oriented
- e.g. “find a better way and share it”
- enable to objectively rate yourself
One can use the opposite of bad phrasing to check if it is a core value.
4 Questions to discover your core values
- In what work environments are you highly engaged?
- In what professional role or jobs did you do your best work?
- What help, advice or qualities do others come to you for?
- What do you want said about you in your enology (Lobrede)?
Write down the answers and look for common themes/phrases.
