Operationalizing Values
First, pick your two most important values from a list.
Then you “operationalize” them by answering these questions for each value:
Value #1:
- What are three behaviors that support your value?
- What are three slippery behaviors that are outside your value?
- Whats an example of a time you were fulling living into this value? (Brown 2018, p 193)
(for the above, a “slippery behaviors” are “actions we find ourselves tempted to do even though they are counter to our values” (Brown 2018, p 190)
)
