Exploring Your Core Values

[Campus 51]

Hello everyone! Welcome to today’s discussion on personal core values.

These values are the fundamental principles that guide our decisions, behaviors, and overall well-being. Having a clear understanding of them can be incredibly empowering.

Before we delve deeper, I encourage you all to take a few minutes to explore your own values using this interactive tool:

Personal Values Survey: https://personalvalu.es

This survey will help you identify the values that resonate most with you.

Once you’ve completed the survey, let’s get the conversation started!

Here are some prompts to guide our discussion:

What were some of the top values identified in your survey results?
How do you see these values reflected in your personal and professional life?
Have you ever faced a situation where your values conflicted? How did you navigate it?
How do you think understanding your core values can benefit your career path?
Are there any challenges associated with identifying or living by your values?
Feel free to share your experiences, ask questions, and engage with your fellow candidates!

Remember: There are no right or wrong answers here. Let’s create a safe space for open and honest discussion.

Family
caring for loved ones
Family is a value that meets many of our needs simultaneously. We find love, security, self-esteem and development in it. Taking care of the family we have a great opportunity to positively influence the lives of our loved ones. In return we are generously endowed with love.

For many people, the family is a way to find balance and respite, and at the same time a strong source of motivation to make further efforts.

Family matters can be too engaging when all attention and effort is given to them. A little time for yourself will allow you to return to them with new energy.

Health
well-being, fitness, not being sick
Those who value health take conscious actions to maintain physical and mental fitness. They do not shy away from practicing sports and are happy to follow a healthy diet. They are aware of the consequences of insufficient health care.

People who care about health are often disciplined and systematic. Caring for health manifests itself in many elements of their everyday life.

In extreme cases, excessive interest in your health can cause harmful fears and concerns.

Respect
honor and care shown towards someone
It is a recognition of someone’s achievements or attitude. We respect those people who have had a strong and positive impact on our lives. We often adopt them as role models and are eager to learn from them.

Being respected gives a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction. Showing respect for others is an expression of high personal culture.

Trying to impress others will not give us respect. Earning respect requires making a positive contribution to other people’s lives.

Peace
calm, freedom from conflict
People who value peace tend to avoid conflicts. If they engage in disputes, it is mainly to help resolve them. They are willing to make compromises and sacrifices if it is required to regain peace.

Openness and the pursuit of dialogue are qualities that peacemakers can demonstrate. They try to resolve conflicts quickly so as not to escalate them.

It is worth asking whether the pursuit of peace justifies all measures taken.

Reputation
other people’s opinion
Reputation reflects our value in the eyes of others. It has a great influence on how we are treated by our surroundings. It can take a lot of work and effort to achieve the desired reputation, but it will make it easier for us to achieve our goals in relationships with others.

Those who care about reputation know the norms and principles of their environment. They carefully build their image.

Paying too much attention to other people’s opinions can lead us to fulfill other people’s expectations instead of fulfilling our own desires.

Excellent work on your self-reflection! Your insights into the values of family, health, respect, peace, and reputation provide a clear understanding of what’s important to you.

Ambition
aspiration, strong desire to succeed
Ambition comes from a strong self-esteem. It manifests itself in setting goals that are difficult to achieve and their consistent realization. Ambitious people build their image through their own achievements.

Ambitious people boldly choose their goals. When necessary, they are ready to make sacrifices.

Being too ambitious and not properly assessing your own abilities may end in failure.

Success
achieving desired results
Success confirms that the right decisions were made and effectively implemented. It contributes to building self-esteem and confidence. Achieving success brings a lot of satisfaction and can be a source of pride.

For those who value success, results are what counts. They are very effective in achieving your goals and can sacrifice a lot on the way to success.

It is worth verifying from time to time how we define success and what price we are willing to pay for it.

Growth
physical, intellectual and spiritual development
Growth is an integral part of every person’s life. The power of development lies in the ability to independently decide on its direction. It allows us to achieve personal desires and become what we want to be.

People interested in growth are very conscious about achieving their goals. They believe in their abilities and do not avoid the necessary effort.

It may happen that the existing environment does not provide opportunities for further growth. In such cases, there is a feeling that you are not using your full potential.

Contribution
helping others to achieve a common goal
Making your own contribution gives satisfaction from participating in something important and needed by other people. It gives an opportunity to leave something valuable behind. It positively influences self-esteem and life satisfaction.

Those who like to contribute are able to see value in the work of others. They have a lot of energy to act and help. They feel good in teamwork.

Beware of people and organizations trying to misuse the help you offer.

Freedom
liberty, freedom of action and thought
It is free will, which can freely manifest itself in actions taken and opinions expressed. People who value freedom want to live according to their own beliefs and principles. They do not like limitations and patterns.

Valuing your own freedom often goes hand in hand with respecting the freedom of others. People who value freedom usually make decisions very consciously.

Sometimes too strong a desire for freedom can lead to loneliness and isolation from the rest of society.

4. Appreciation:
It’s a significant respect for another person. Being appreciated always requires effort. Appreciation is given to people who have brought a lot of good in other people’s lives or achieved something special with their own efforts.

Gaining appreciation can significantly increase self-esteem. It also allows us to be seen as a role model.

Before we seek appreciation, we need to consider whose appreciation we want and why it is valuable to us.

5. Family:
caring for loved ones
Family is a value that meets many of our needs simultaneously. We find love, security, self-esteem and development in it. Taking care of the family we have a great opportunity to positively influence the lives of our loved ones. In return we are generously endowed with love.
