Communication & Relationships Tools
Surface what genuinely matters to you through iterative self-inquiry,

Values are easy to name and hard to know. Most people can produce a list of values on request - integrity, family, achievement, growth - but struggle to say which ones actually drive their decisions when things get difficult. The gap between stated values and revealed values is one of the most productive territories in coaching.
This tool works in two stages. The first is an iterative inquiry exercise: you answer the same question repeatedly, writing a different response each time. The repetition matters. The early answers are often the safe, socially acceptable ones. The later answers, when the obvious responses have been exhausted, tend to be more revealing.
The second stage is a ranking exercise. Listing values is easy. Ranking them forces you to acknowledge that they sometimes conflict - and that you have been implicitly choosing between them already.
Answer it eight times, writing something different each time.
List the values that matter most to you, then rank them from most important to least important.
