values you may develop because of their influence.

Periods of Development
Sociologist Morris Massey has described three major
periods during which values are developed.
▪ The Imprint Period (Cognitive)

▪ The Modeling Period (Affective)
▪ The Socialization Period (Behavioral)
12
The Imprint Period
▪ Up to the age of seven, we are like sponges, absorbing everything
around us and accepting much of it as true, especially when it
comes from our parents.
▪ The confusion and blind belief of this period can also lead to the
early formation of trauma and other deep problems.
▪ The critical thing here is to learn a sense of right and wrong, good
and bad. This is a human construction which we nevertheless
often assume would exist even if we were not here (which is an
indication of how deeply imprinted it has become).
13
The Modeling Period
▪ Between the ages of eight and thirteen, we copy people, often our
parents, but also others. Rather than blind acceptance of their
values, we are trying them on like a suit of clothes, to see how
they feel.
▪ At this age we may be much impressed with religion or our
teachers. You may remember being particularly influenced by
junior school teachers who seemed so knowledgeable--maybe
even more so than your parents.
14
The Socialization Period
▪ Between 13 and 21, we are very largely influenced by our peers. As
we develop as individuals and look for ways to get away from the
earlier programming, we naturally turn to people who seem more
like us.
▪ Other influences at these ages include the media, especially
those parts which seem to resonate with our the values of our
peer groups.
15
The Five Qualities of
Effective Value
Development
Values, when carefully crafted, are the most powerful
tool for personal and professional growth.
1) Be built from the inside, out

2) Be practical and relevant
3) Provide a rich and energetic context
4) Have a meaningful name
5) Provide a framework for ongoing personal
growth
17
Be built from the inside, out
▪ Your values are unique to you, and should

not be rooted in external sources.
▪ When we allow our values to be influenced
by social norms, cultural practices, religion,
the media, or organizations to which we
belong, we’re essentially trading our unique
identity for those of the external entity.
▪ We will never be happy living under the
influence of someone else’s values. 18
Be practical and relevant
▪ Values should be practical, helping a person
intentionally respond to challenges and navigate
change within the context of their current
circumstance.
▪ If a value doesn’t help its holder make decisions
and maintain course in challenging situations, then
it has no use or relevance.
▪ The power of a value is its ability to act as an
incredibly accurate guide. They point us toward
that slightly-more-perfect version of our future
self we know we can be, and show us to get there. 19
Provide a rich and energetic
context
▪ Rules live in our head. Values come from our heart.
It’s a values’ energetic context that makes it so
powerful.
▪ Textbook definitions and logical descriptions of
our values just don’t work.
▪ They lack the rich, energetic context that lets us
feel what it’s like when the value is really present in
our life.
▪ They help us connect with our meaning, purpose,
and connect with a wisdom-like sense of what’s
20
good and right.
Have a meaningful name
▪ A value should be given a name that carries a
special and specific significance to its holder.
▪ A meaningful value name helps clear away mind
clutter and get quickly focused on the best way for
you to respond in a situation.
▪ Think of the value name as a special electrical
outlet.
▪ Pick the value you most need to tap into given your
current situation, ‘plug in,’ and Voila! – Instant
access to the energetic ‘vibe’ of that value.
21
Provide a framework for
ongoing personal growth
▪ An effective values development framework must
provide a way for our values to evolve as we do,
calling us to the next step of our personal growth.
▪ As you practice strengthening a particular value is
in your life, you will, over time, become that value.
▪ The value will shift from something you have to
practice being, to a natural part of who you are.
▪ When this shift happens, that value ceases to be of
use to you as a guide and tool for growth, and an
effective approach to values development will
22
always point to ‘what’s next?’
At the
end of
the day..
23
▪ Our values are significant because they enable
us to develop and grow. They assist us in
imagining the future we want to live in. Every
day, every person and every organization is
involved in hundreds of decisions.
▪ If you can understand how people's values
develop, then you can guide the process.
24
“
“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny.”
― Gandhi
