Three more worksheets on this topic
Four ways into the same question. Pick the one that fits your client. The ranking list is the sheet this page hands over first; the three below narrow to a top five, map values across life areas, and score where the client stands today.
Using these in session
Use them in session and as homework, and do not hand over all four. Start with either list-and-rank sheet, since both begin from a printed list and ranking is easier than recall. Move to Personal Values Circles of Influence when a client separates what they want from what is expected of them. Keep the Clarifying Your Values Bull’s-Eye for last, because it asks for a score on where you place yourself and an action per area. Your clients can complete the ranking between sessions and bring the reasons back.
What the download includes

The last is a bull’s-eye over Work, Relationships, Personal Growth and Leisure.
