The Values Practice Join the pilot
Founding pilot group · Limited spots

You already have values. Are they the ones you want to live by?

Many of the values running your life were handed to you before you could choose them. The Values Practice helps you see them, keep what's truly yours, and live by them when it matters.

Our mission

Help people discover what matters most and live it every day.

Close the gap between what we value and how we live.

Doing everything right, and it still doesn't feel like your life?

That often isn't a motivation problem. It's a sign you may be living by values you absorbed before you could choose them.

  • You say yes when you mean no, and you're not sure why.
  • You work harder, keep going, push through, and wonder who decided that was the rule.
  • Life shifted, and what used to matter doesn't fit anymore.
The paths

Find the one that fits your life right now

Most paths are micro-lessons, usually under four minutes, plus an Activity Guide to put them into practice. Times are approximate; allow additional time for reflection and activities. The Individual Path and Beyond the Scoreboard: At Home are open now. The others are opening in stages, so register your interest and we'll reach out when it's your turn.

Start here · For you

Individual Path

It's where the work begins: getting honest about what's guiding your life. And it's the foundation for Couple, Family, and Organizational.

  • Your Values Map. The values you're living, the ones you inherited, and the ones you're reaching for.
  • The V.A.L.U.E. Loop℠. One value, one week, put into real decisions.
  • Your Commitment Statement. Who you're choosing to be, ready for the days you forget.

Beyond the Scoreboard

Be the parent your kid needs after the game, the recital, or the hard day.

You love your kid, and you're stretched thin. Both can be true. Beyond the Scoreboard gives you a feel for how this work comes to life at home, in the everyday moments with your kids.

"Why didn't you turn that in?"→"What do you need from me right now?"
At Home: one video plus conversation tools, about 20 to 30 minutes.
Facilitated: a 60-minute workshop for a team or group. You lead it, and we give you everything you need, for the facilitator and for every participant.

What pilot participants are saying

Reflections from people in our early pilots. Some participants shared more than one reflection.

  • “One of the most valuable things I’ve taken from this program is learning when to pause.”
    Jim, parentBeyond the Scoreboard: At Home
  • “Easy to assess my starting point… and good intro to the wheel concept.”
    Julie, participantThe Values Practice: Individual Path
  • “This is a great way to ensure you are showing up in a way your child needs you, not in the way you think you should.”
    Stacey, parentBeyond the Scoreboard: At Home
  • “Taking off the Coach/Manager hat and putting on the Parent hat first.”

The framework

The Alignment Loop℠

Every path follows the same arc: from where you really are, through noticing and naming what's driving you, to choosing what's yours and carrying it forward.

Small steps, meaningful work. The loop stays available. Start where you are, and run it again whenever life shifts.

Grounded in real stories

The Individual Path was informed by the 2025 Personal Values Survey, which explored how people understand where their values came from and how those values show up in their lives.

"When you only know what you've seen growing up, you are highly likely to repeat the same values unless you are exposed to something new that challenges you."

Why I built this

My mom worked three jobs when I was growing up and never took the tips from her bartending shifts, because the customers were her friends. I watched that every day and took it with me: work harder, keep going, push through. It took me years to see that was an inherited value, one I had never chosen.

The Values Practice is the program I wish I'd had: a way to see the values already running your life, and choose the ones worth keeping.

Everyone is welcome

Room for what matters to you

The Values Practice doesn't tell you what to value. It gives you room to discover what matters to you and live it, whatever you believe, or don't.
