Below, add a brief statement/definition of what each of your TOP 5 values means to you/how you will know if
your career decision/life decision is in alignment with your value.
Example:
Help Others: to support others as they navigate a variety of life challenges and obstacles. I will know
that I am in alignment with this value if I am working for an organization that supports a social mission and if
each day I have the opportunity to connect with someone facing obstacles and share supportive resources.
