Last week I had the opportunity to be a part of a group that was doing a trial run of an ethical decision making program. It was created and hosted by one of my favorite leaders, a chaplain from the Reserves who is visiting from Texas. Her presence is so neat because she is the first female military chaplain that I've ever met and she's also very awesome. She created a program that was not only awesome, but it wasn't a death by PowerPoint that, well let's face it, most military briefings are like. We sat down to do the trial run and were introduced to a personal values exercise and a choose-your-own-adventure exercise. What what! Yeah, it was that fun. I hadn't done a CYOA since I was like in 4th grade. The personal values exercise was what I wanted to focus on in this post because it was not only fun, but it provided a point of clarity.
On a sheet of paper were several 20 values and a blank space to add your own. The values had their own descriptions and the exercise involved putting a plus sign next to your top eight values that you feel are most important to you.
