What is Values Explorer™

• A card-deck tool for reflection and dialogue about personal, organizational, and community values as guides for our behavior and relationships.

• 44 values cards plus 5 cards as sorting categories: Always Valued, Often Valued, Sometimes Valued, Seldom Valued, Never Valued

• Long history as a classroom exercise at CCL before it became an “Explorer” tool.

• Cres Torres and Oliver Bermoy led the revision.

• Eclectic origins – and fits well in the models of Shalom Schwartz (Schwartz Values Inventory), Ronald Ingelhart (World Values Survey), as well as the CCL culture model (Dependent, Independent, Interdependent).

“Thinking about your values makes you remember to

make sure to double your efforts! It helps me think of ways to show my values to my children.”

“Since the workshop we have added the values to our

family strategic plan. In the past we’ve considered values

as a “given” and we assumed our values were the same

as husband and wife. We did differ and the conversation around it has been great.”

What are parents saying?

“I have already used it when my son came home with

an issue that he had when a once friendly classmate

became rude to him in the presence of peers.

Explaining the situation and the other child’s probable

perspective in terms of values was much more

beneficial. I was also able to keep it in a neutral tone

rather then getting too emotional. I simply explained

that it was possible that the other boy was valuing

himself and his status among peers more than he was

valuing loyalty to my son at the moment the situation

occurred. I do think if we continue these exercises,

they will be such immense benefits to the students as

they mature and enter the workforce, as well as one

day when they have families of their own.”
