Find out what makes you or your team tick by whittling down this template of 210 values

As we learn in the movie, your values don't represent your interests, passions, and your purpose directly, but the underlying motivations for why you might pursue any of them. They guide all your decisions and actions and embody what you draw energy and satisfaction from.

Becoming intimately familiar with your values helps in many ways: It's the foundation for evaluating where you are in your life versus where you want to be and gives you confidence in pursuing what drives you. Your values are your guiding light, particularly in turbulent times. When you hit a junction in the road, you might consult them and ask: which direction is most consistent with my values? Values also help you say no to the things that don't align - a very helpful thing in our busy lives.

You might already have a vague understanding of your values. Whenever you consider your life goals or at regular intervals, take a moment to define and refine them. This brings them front-of-mind and makes them more actionable. Consider them well, prioritise them, be specific about their meaning to you. Much will move into focus if you do.

Of course, you can transfer this to all kinds of different contexts and even team activities to open a discussion about what you collectively and individually care about most.
