CORE VALUES STATEMENT

After a quick run through of CultureSync’s Mountains and Valleys Exercise for uncovering one’s Core Values, and sleeping on it for a day or so, I have this draft of my personally-held core values.  My plan is to add to this document by adding more of what is meant here by each of these words. This list also will probably undergo periodic review and refinement.
