Her top values: Adventure, Creativity, Openness
She teaches home improvement classes to women through her business, Workshops for Women and feels very lucky to be meeting so many wonderful people through her work.
She describes herself as very hands on and is using Life Compass Cards to sort about what is important to her about her workshop for women as it grows. She has used them in the past when she has felt a little out of sorts and they have helped her to sort her feelings and give her clarity.
She felt her final three values “gave her a sense of clarity about why she goes through life the way she does”.

Testimonials
"Values clarification is an essential component of acceptance-based behavior analytic practice. The Compass Card sorting task yields three distinct values classes, those linked to problem solving, and those shaped through social expectations, and a remaining group that appears largely independent of these two. I find the Compass Card procedure useful in helping clients differentiate among these three values classes and to notice the experiential shift that occurs respective to each class. Further, in terms of process-dialectics, the Compass Card sorting task helps elucidate and expose core dialectical tensions (desire / suffering) and life-struggles implicated in the core values the client desires most."
