Identifying your values is a great way to check if your circumstances align with the things that are most important to you. You may have a niggling doubt about your job but can’t figure out what it is or you’re not doing as well as you could. Perhaps you’re doing a sales role but you’re not motivated by money - the likelihood of you being the top salesperson isn’t too high. 

But we don’t stop by just identifying your values! We work out if each of your most important values are driven by your own true desire to live the values, or if there is some external pressure on you to live that way - and if there is, it’s likely you experience some kind of conflict. 

Take, for example. that you’re in a relationship. One of your most important values is Calmness. And one of your partner’s most important values is Energy. You may find it tricky to agree on the type of holidays you go on, or the best way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

We certainly don’t need to live with carbon copies of ourselves and different values absolutely compliment each other so just because values are not similar it does not mean there’s conflict. But if there is, we can help to identify this and work out a strategy for moving forward.
