“Value” is an ideal or principle we hold important.
Value can be honesty, integrity, excellence, compassion, quality, etc.

“Valuing habit” is a conditioned reaction based on our conditioned perspectives of what adds value.
“Value Judgment” is how we perceive, analyze, choose and respond.
I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates
they have made of the value of things.‐ Benjamin Franklin

The Brain The MindA human organ Not an organ
Physical and tangible Not physical and tangible
Does not distinguish whether the action is beneficial or destructive
Has the ability to consider many options and can weigh short‐term actions against longer‐
term goals.Responds to how you behave and then
generates strong impulses, thoughts, desires, cravings, and urges that compel you to
perpetuate your habit
Can choose at any moment to respond differently than the established habit.
Does not understand your “True Self”Aware of consciousness, the ability to control what we do, and know what we are doing and
why.
Passive Action (does what it has been programmed to do)
Active Action (can take a long‐term, value‐based approach to
action)
Survival and comfort based Value and goal‐oriented

“In truth, the only difference between those who have failed and those who have succeeded lies in the difference of their habits. Good habits are the key to all success. Bad habits are the unlocked door to failure.”

Actions are not always aligned with Core Values & Value Judgments
Actions are usually aligned with Valuing Habits
You can change the Valuing Habits of your BRAIN by using your MIND.
Key: Identifying your GOOD Valuing perspectives
© 2013 Break Free Consulting. All Rights Reserved.
Hartman’s Value Profile (HVP) allows us to quantifiably measure our valuing perspectives. (VQs = Value judgment Quotient)
“Aligned” valuing perspectives support you in being courageous. (VQ‐100’s)
“Mis‐aligned” valuing perspectives sabotage your efforts to be courageous. (low VQs)

This is NOT about personality (MBTI) or behavior (DISC).
It is about understanding how you think in order to be more effective.

Low VQs are limited or narrow perspectives
VQ‐100s are broad perspectives

VQ‐100 comes with Centering Questions
When you ask YOURSELF these questions, you will pull your mind into a broader perspective.
Each of the 36 VQ‐100s have their own specific Centering Questions
© 2013 Break Free Consulting. All Rights Reserved.
IF your VQ‐100 is “Valuing Yourself”:
What do I know about my ability to grow and to become better?
Does this choice or situation support who I aspire to be?
How can I use my past experiences to bring greater value at this moment?

Conform to the hierarchy of value and you will KNOW that you are adding value.
Attempt to violate the hierarchy of value and you will be unsure.
With uncertainty, there can be no courage!
