It starts with YOU.

Questions? contact Cheryl and Kenton
DIALOGUE is a core value in values practice. Why? Simple: because everyone defines the values they hold in their own way. The only way we can understand the values of others—and to arrive at genuinely shared values—is to find out what a value means to another person. How? We ask. And we listen. If asked, we share—always remembering the core value of Safety.
What does Dialogue mean to you?
SAFETY is a core value in all values work. It means that personal values data generated when you take a survey is NEVER shared with anyone (except a certified Values Perspectives coach and only with your permission). It means that group values data is always anonymized. It means we all respect the values others choose to tell us about. It means we never compel anyone to share anything about their values they are not comfortable in doing so. It means that personal values stories that are shared are not repeated outside the context in which they have been shared without permisison.

Interview with Buster Benson on “Seeking Out Disagreement” here
A pioneering and timely study of how to navigate life’s biggest transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill.
Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he spent the last few years crisscrossing the country, collecting hundreds of life stories of Americans in all 50 states who’d been through major life changes—from losing jobs to losing loved ones; changing careers to changing relationships; getting sober to getting healthy to simply looking for a fresh start. He then spent a year coding these stories, identifying patterns and takeaways that can help all of us survive and thrive in times of change.
