Please take the time to begin reflecting on your personal values.

When we sit down together, I will facilitate a card sorting exercise to help you better compare and contrast.

We will define them (with your personal definitions), describe why they're important to you, and we will describe how they might exist in the real world for you.

I have made the cards bilingual, they are French on the reverse side. I am entirely comfortable offering workshops in French as well.
