Core values guide how you choose, react, and set limits.
Core values explain why some situations feel wrong even when you cannot justify it logically. When your actions fit your values, you feel settled. When they do not, tension appears quickly.
Here’s my top 5 core values. Are yours similar? Let me know!
Respect
People engage with each other as capable thinkers, listening properly and responding to what is actually said.
Fairness
People judge and treat others on substance and behaviour, not status, bias, convenience, or assumption.
Autonomy
People think and decide for themselves, and do not interfere with others’ agency unless there is clear cause.
Integrity
people’s words, actions, and promises align with reality; honesty and authenticity guide behaviour.
Consideration
people notice and account for how their actions affect others; attentiveness and thoughtfulness shape interactions.
If you’re not sure what your values are, pay attention to what irritates you.
For example, it really annoys me when people don’t think about how their actions affect others. That’s how I know consideration is a core value for me.

I said integrity and you said honesty, but they are highly similar. Trust is also really important to me!
