Meaning is the antidote to isolation and purposelessness

We know that people grow and heal when they move towards what's meaningful in life. Coaching frameworks and third-wave behavioral therapies like ACT and DBT already use values to foster client motivation and self-driven purpose. So why are we still having clients pick values from rigid, arbitrary lists?

In Values Lab, you'll learn a powerful, dialogue-based method for identifying, refining, and validating people's values. Informed by the moral philosophies of Charles Taylor and Joe Edelman, we'll equip you with a variety of tools that will upgrade how you work with values. Watch clients come alive, and help them orient their life around meaning.

Bring clarity to values

In Values Lab, Discover exactly what’s meaningful, when, and how by eliciting values in dialogue and guiding clients taking meaningful actions. It’s a 100x improvement over vague values clarification methods.

Enhance tools you already use

Leverage sources of meaning to enhance the visualization, parts work, and somatic tools you already use. From life visioning to in-the-moment awareness, build a library of techniques that you can use to clarify clients’ values and help them act.

Transform emotions to values

Learn a powerful way of working with challenging emotions. Tap into frustrations to reveal a blocked value, and discover a wise way of action.

Growthful change for you and your clients

Grow wiser and deepen your own values, while learning how to provide transformative reality shifts for your clients.

What you'll learn

  • Inspect what’s meaningful about a moment or challenge and articulate a beautiful value
  • Read your emotions and decipher a value that's missing in the moment, turning every frustration into an invaluable lesson
  • Gain sensitivity to social pressures and a heightened awareness of how social norms influence us
  • Learn how to smoothly navigate dual commitments to traditional and modern values

Your work with clients

  • Refine meaningful moments and stories to reveal the wisdom your clients already have
  • Translate challenging emotions and experiences into meaningful, actionable values
  • Help clients identify environmental pressures that act against their values and accurately target leverage points for change
  • Help clients negotiate conflicts around faith through deepening their personal sources of meaning
