Core Values Deck

I loved the BestSelf Core Values Pack. This wasn’t just a feel-good exercise—it actually helped me identify my top three core values and gave me clear direction right at the start of the year. Once I knew what truly mattered, my decisions, focus, and priorities immediately felt more aligned.
It’s simple, well-designed, and incredibly effective. The impact was so noticeable that my husband ended up doing it too after seeing the difference it made for me, and it led to some really meaningful conversations between us.
If you want clarity, momentum, and a solid foundation for your year, this is absolutely worth it. One of the best self-reflection tools I’ve used.

Was not helpful. Wish it included definition or ideation for each core value.  Could print these words out for free and circle them on a sheet of paper.

Intriguing questions provoking thought and conversation.

Our foundation (core values) are what we build our beliefs and then eventually opinions on which together make up the entire psychosocial and interpersonal skills are

Good physical quality, but missing numerous values that I found super surprising. It isn't the same if you have to write them yourself.

Got it as part of a package. Took me 2 mins because I honestly knew what I was looking for and I was just searching for the words. Wasn’t something I would have bought. However, I have found it a lot more useful in watching other people to do it because you learn a lot about a person from what they choose and how quickly they make decisions on their values. Understanding their values means I can engage with them more efficiently and productively. My 3 were curiosity, truth and learning so go figure.

The Deck is nice, the cards are sturdy I would look at each card and see if the vaule relates to me or would I consider the value as part of my life. Overall its a great deck and would recommend it to others.

The quality of printing and packaging is disappointing on a indescribable level.

Cards are attractive, size is convenient to hold, love them.

There are no questions to prompt thinking. Just words. I am a happy user of other best self products. This one seems to not have cut it.

The truth is, I was a little disappointed. I was expecting some really specific questions and writing or conversation prompts that would jumpstart my thinking process and turn my world around in a good way. But ordering cards seemed a little facile and simplistic and I quickly lost interest. The mechanism for self-reflection was just not thorough enough. and this was not made clear in the description.

Spent Saturday night with the family and we took turns going thru the deck. And sharing the results with family and discussing what we see in front of us. Definitely a deck that prompted us to dig deep.

This is ok and I will used it again - used one weekend when I had time to concentrate and did a lot of sorting, resorting and adding my own created cards with more personally distinctive words. Wish there were more explicit instructions on how to integrate these with Best Self Planners and Journals.

I had been looking for a core values product to use with clients that was a clean design, reusable, and effective. The Best Self deck was the perfect fit! I bought 2 of them to have on hand, one to keep in the office and 1 to loan out to clients who need more time with the values, or for couples and families I am working with.

I need to re watch the training because I haven't watched it yet

Love these cards and loved the book and author

Satisfying and Reinforcing! Thank you!

I really enjoyed sifting through the values and the exercise to come up with my three core values. I have them sitting on my desk to look at every day. My only wish was that once these values were identified that there were further exercises to use them, whether that's journaling prompts or whatever.

have read some info and written some goals and am tracking them. i have lots to listen to. I keep getting more everyday. I am overwhelmed so I haven't had a great start yet. I have not given up.

This deck is fantastic! As a personal development tool, I learned a lot about myself (and though I was anxious when I started, they are simple and diverse enough that the pressure to choose the "right" cards quickly disappated). As a relationship tool, they're equally helpful; my partner and I have gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for one another. I'd recommend them to anyone, and continue to use them almost every day!

I loved this product, not only for myself but also to use with clients to support them on their journey to being more values driven. It was tough coming up with just three in the end, but I feel so good to have more clarity around my decisions and ensure I'm truly living by what I believe in.

It was challenging at times, because there were values that I believe in such as 'fun' but I'm not necessariliy living that in my day to day life, and it's certainly not something I consider when making a decision.

I was a bit of a rebel and chose three extra values which I would like to work on. I feel that this could perhaps support me in developing more in these areas, even if right now I'm not fully living them.

The number of values stated so clearly made me think very hard on which value truly resonates with me. It's a fun activity even for family, and I will definitely use it in my next training session!

I sat down today to look through the deck properly. At first glance, I thought it would be easy, but it really does make you think. Do I value joy, fun or playfulness (as an example)? None turned up in my final 3, but it was interesting to go through all of them to see what stuck and what didn't. I think having the cards visible on my desk will be helpful, just another way to remind myself to stay true to who I am, and appreciate that I am different than others (and we all have a different set of core values). Thanks for the inspiration!

I sat down the other day with a glass of wine and flipped through the deck. What I thought was going to be a quick and easy task, actually turned into some much-needed reflection time. I started out by creating a pile of values that stood out to me, then created mini piles, grouping similar values together, another glass later, I chose the three that really called out to me. I call these my ABCs, Authenticity, Belonging, and Curiosity.

As I was choosing my values, it was challenging because there were things coming up that are important to me, but I don't live them on a day to day basis. There was a disconnect. When I really got into it, I saw that were some internal conflicts I've created in my life because I wasn't really living my values; which lead me to think about what needed to change so I could be happier and more fulfilled. They were small tweaks, but they felt needed. Granted, I felt pretty happy and fulfilled before this exercise, but when I really looked at things, this stirred up a few things that I've probably been ignoring.

It might have been the wine, but I a lot out of this exercise and have started thinking more about my values when decision making, especially when it comes to how I spend my time and how I show up. I've even shared the deck with friends and had some pretty amazing conversations about our differences, again something that probably wouldn't have happened without this deck.

Used this deck with my coworkers and it was so insightful. Understanding the team's core values really helped us grow closer as team. We work remotely so having another tool to understand each other better is so helpful. I am attaching my core values. This is something I want to try with my family and friends.

Thank you for putting this tool together! My fiance and I used it to understand our core values both individually and as a couple, can't wait to use it at work with my team.
