The first step is to reflect on your past and present experiences, both positive and negative, and identify the common themes that emerge. What were the situations that made you feel happy, proud, energized, or inspired? What were the situations that made you feel frustrated, angry, bored, or drained? What did you learn from them? What did they reveal about your values? You can use a journal, a mind map, or a worksheet to record your reflections and organize them into categories.

One efficient way to think about your past and present experiences is to think of your key chapters in your life, including personal and professional. Put all chapters onto a horizontal line in chronological order and then on the vertical side put a scale from 1 to 10. For each chapter select a score, connect the dots and see your lows and highs. Reflect on them and see any patterns emerging.

Other than just a general reflection, choose your best and worst experiences at work and in life. Now try to identify themes, phrases, and keywords. These hint at your values.

A fantastic resource to explore and reflect on your core values that I've found highly beneficial for myself and my clients, is Taylor Protocols' CVI assessment (Core Values Index). I personally can attest to the fact that I have used the test on multiple occasions over the course of several years, and the results are shockingly accurate and remain about the same. Upon completion of the assessment you receive a personalized report that details your core values and how they affect each part of your life: career choices, relationships, etc.

Was hat Sie das letzte Mal so richtig getriggert, auf die Palme gebracht? Das Verhalten einer Person, eine Situation, ein Artikel oder Bericht? H?chstwahrscheinlich wurde hier ein wichtiger Wert von Ihnen verletzt, wodurch eine starke emotionale Reaktion ausgel?st wurde. Hier lohnt es sich, tiefer zu schauen, um den Wert dahinter freizulegen. Stellen Sie sich Fragen wie "Wie wünsche ich mir die Situation? Was w?re für mich ideales Verhalten?" und finden Sie so heraus, was für Sie wichtig und wert-voll ist.
The next step is to choose your top values from the categories you created. You can use a list of common values, such as honesty, creativity, freedom, or service, as a reference, or you can create your own. Try to narrow down your list to no more than five or six values that resonate with you the most. These are your core values, the ones that are non-negotiable and essential for your happiness and well-being. You can rank them in order of importance, or assign them a score based on how strongly you feel about them.

Prior to choosing, brain dump the answer to "what is at the core of who you are?", then start to order the values. After you have about 5-10 try to define them for your work and life. Then, now that you understand what they mean a bit more, reorder them. Pick your top 3-5 and now lets get to creating alignment!
The third step is to evaluate your current career and see how well it aligns with your core values. You can use a simple rating scale, such as 1 to 5, to assess how much each value is present or absent in your work environment, tasks, goals, and relationships. For example, if one of your core values is creativity, you can rate how much creative freedom, expression, and innovation you have in your current role. The higher the rating, the more aligned your career is with your value. The lower the rating, the more misaligned your career is with your value.

Feeling stuck or conflicted in your current role or career can be caused by a misalignment of your values. This is normal and occurs more often than you think. Reflect on how your most recent position aligns or misaligns with your current work values. In doing this you will have a clear understanding of your career satisfaction based on your current values. Are you feeling fulfilled through your work? Consider conduct a values evaluation when feeling unmotivated.
The fourth step is to identify the gaps and opportunities for alignment between your core values and your career choices. You can use the ratings you gave in the previous step to highlight the areas where you need to make changes or improvements. For example, if you rated creativity as a low value in your current career, you can look for ways to increase it, such as taking on more challenging projects, learning new skills, or seeking feedback. You can also look for opportunities to explore other career paths or options that match your values better, such as switching roles, industries, or employers.

Eine sehr gute M?glichkeit, herauszufinden wie Sie Ihre Werte ausleben k?nnen, ist auf Ihre Charakterst?rken zu schauen. Denn ein Wert hat kein "Ende", er ist kein Ziel. "Ich habe heute meinen Wert Familie ausgelebt, also bin ich fertig damit", würde niemand sagen. Charakterst?rken hingegen sind "Werte in Aktion". In der Positiven Psychologie werden sie als positive Eigenschaften eines Menschen definiert und sind Dinge, die Ihnen leicht fallen, Sie energetisieren und die Zeit vergessen lassen. Wenn Sie ihre Charakterst?rken in Ihren beruflichen Werdegang einflie?en lassen, werden Sie sich laut Forschung erfüllter und zufriedener fühlen. Das "VIA-Institute of Character" bietet einen kostenlosen Charakterst?rken-Test in vielen Sprachen.
The final step is to take action and monitor your progress towards aligning your core values and your career choices. You can use a SMART (specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound) framework to set goals and action plans based on the gaps and opportunities you identified. For example, if your goal is to increase creativity in your current career, you can set a specific action plan, such as completing a online course on design thinking in three months. You can also use a journal, a tracker, or a mentor to monitor your progress and celebrate your achievements.

Once you know your values they become a compass to decisions, relationships, jobs, work selection, and ultimately everything you do. That's not to say that you shouldn't make decisions that do NOT align with your values, but you need to understand the consequences of stress, discomfort, frustration, etc that will occur because of it, and how much more fulfillment will be derived from living a life in alignment with your values.

Contrary to popular opinion, the biggest single determinant of long-term career success is not our experience, abilities, qualifications etc. It is FIT; ie how well what you value about yourself, your ethics, you personality, you strengths etc are valued by your organisation. No consideration of this whole subject is complete without also addressing the issue of how you find out if your core values fit with both your current or any future employer. Understanding what you want is of little utility if you don’t have the methodology for understanding if what you are being offered is genuine, aligned with what you need or will give a satisfactory ROI for your input
