Values Clarification Exercise

Guide me through a values clarification exercise.

Context: [why you want to clarify your values — e.g. feeling unfulfilled / making a big decision / building a business / life transition]
Areas of life most affected: [career / relationships / money / lifestyle / health / all]

Run me through this process:

Step 1 — Values inventory
Present me with a list of 40 common values and ask me to select my top 15.

Step 2 — Narrowing
Once I have my 15, help me narrow to my top 7 by asking: "If you could only keep one of these two, which would you choose?" — run me through head-to-head comparisons.

Step 3 — Definition
For each of my top 7, ask me: "What does this value mean to you specifically? Describe a moment when you were living this value fully."

Step 4 — Values in conflict
Identify which of my top values are most likely to conflict with each other and how I can navigate those tensions.

Step 5 — Values audit
Ask: "On a scale of 1-10, how much is your current life honouring each of these values?" Identify the gap.

Step 6 — One action
Based on the biggest gap, suggest one change I could make this week to better align my life with my values.

Run this as a conversation — wait for my responses before moving to each step.
