Description: In this activity the values deck becomes a contributor to a conversation you are having with friends or with yourself. The purpose of this activity is to use the values cards to help you think through a question you are wrestling with or a dilemma you are facing.

Instructions:

1. Take a few minutes to think of a question or dilemma (personal, professional, etc.) that can be expressed in up to three minutes.

2. Ask the question or present the dilemma to your partner(s) and/or the cards

3. Lay out the deck and turn over one value card that calls to you.

   1. Restate the question or dilemma while thinking about this value

   2. Ask: what does this value have to say about the question or dilemma?

   3. Take some time to discuss with your partner(s) or reflect on your own how the value that showed up can help you re-think your question or dilemma.

4. Ask: would it be helpful to hear from another value card? 

   1. If yes: turn over another value card and repeat

   2. If no: continue thinking about the dilemma through the lens of this value

5. Ask a new question/dilemma or have someone else ask a question/dilemma.
