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:

  1. What are three behaviors that support your value?
  2. What are three slippery behaviors that are outside your value?
  3. 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)

)
