Congratulations! You are a proud owner of a “Your Values are Showing” pin.

Here you’ll find more background information about the pin, why it matters, and how to dig deeper on living intentionally through your Core Values.

When you know your values, you’re equipped to think critically rather than react based on the latest headlines or someone’s social media post. You can evaluate information independently, make decisions that align with your authentic self, and contribute meaningfully to conversations without simply echoing the loudest voices around you.

Discovering Your Core Values

There are lots of ways to discover your Core Values…you can think about and pick some words that best describe you!

The PEAK Fleet has also made a fun and engaging way to discover your values through The PEAK Values® Exercise. Use the digital version of our exercise or purchase our PEAK Values® Card Deck and leverage it for yourself and with others. With the deck, you can revisit your values over time and use them in other creative ways through our guides.

Putting Values Into Action

Once you’ve defined your Core Values, show them!

Daily Decisions: Before making choices—big or small—ask yourself: “Which option best aligns with my values?”

Information Consumption: When consuming news or social media, pause to consider: “Am I forming this opinion based on my values and critical thinking, or am I being influenced by bias, emotion, or group pressure?”

Relationship Choices: Surround yourself with people who share your core values or at least respect them, even when you disagree on specific issues.

Professional Life: Seek work and opportunities that allow you to honor your values, not compromise them.

Difficult Conversations: When discussing contentious topics, lead with your values rather than partisan talking points. This creates space for genuine dialogue.

Our PEAK Values® Family Conversations Guide and PEAK Values Grad Guide are companion guides that are helpful for lots of circumstances and life transitions.

The Power of Values-Based Living

When you live according to your values, you experience greater clarity, confidence, and peace. You’re less likely to be swayed by popular opinion or external pressure. You make decisions faster because you have a clear framework for evaluation. Most importantly, you contribute to a world where thoughtful, principled people shape the conversation.

Your values are indeed showing—in every interaction, every choice, every stand you take. Make sure they’re showing intentionally.
