“Values stand at the very core of human decision making …unleashing this energy is tantamount to liberating the corporate soul
– Richard Barrett
PERSONAL VALUE ASSESSMENT (PVA)
Your personal values shape who you are, what you cherish, what bothers you, and what drives your decisions. They mirror your beliefs and what you consider significant. Your values serve as a concise representation of what motivates you. Your beliefs are the foundation of your values, and both play a crucial role in your decision-making process.
Values are the guiding principles of your life, and they shape your thoughts, emotions, and actions. They represent your fundamental beliefs and what you consider vital to your well-being. By identifying your values, you can gain clarity and purpose in your life. They help you prioritize your goals and make decisions that align with your truest self.
So, take some time to reflect on your values and see how you can use them to create a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Seven Levels of Consciousness® for Leaders
Leadership Assessment
As a leader, you make decisions and manage employees, of course, but you are also a de facto cultural leader. Consciously or not, your manner and behavior convey a wide range of cultural markers and set the stage for a healthy or dysfunctional organization.
It is no wonder then that leadership development is an essential part of cultural transformation.
We use Barrett AnalyticsTM to magnify leadership effectiveness by helping them recognize their true cultural impact and embrace an authentic leadership style. Leadership Development grounded in values-based insights builds the skills leaders need to:
- Work more effectively with their leadership team
- Better utilize the “soft skills” necessary to create a truly fulfilling and productive workplace
- Engage with integrity and authenticity, the basis of trust
- Find greater satisfaction, meaning, and connection in their work
Leadership involves the ability to influence others, as well as oneself. It encompasses leading teams, processes, and organizations. Leadership assessments are a comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s values, strengths, and areas for growth. This measurement includes identifying positive foundational strengths, dysfunctional beliefs and behaviors that hinder performance, and determining the desired direction for the future.
Types of leadership assessments:
360º – a leader’s values, strengths, and areas for growth, based on confidential feedback from their chosen colleagues.
Team – what drives your leaders, how they work together, and what they want to build on or develop for the future.
Self – Insights into your core operating values to deepen your understanding of what is important to you as a leader.
Culture Assessment
When your people thrive, your organization thrives.
Which is why building your optimal culture begins with understanding the values at the root of it. Values – conscious or unconscious – are the motivation for every decision made or action taken.
Employees have their own values when they walk in the door, and they are influenced everyday by the values they experience in your organization. Understanding the values currently at play is essential to put your wanted culture into action.
This is where BVC approach is uniquely effective.
Whether you manage or not the culture of your organisation, it works through conscious & unconscious beliefs and manifests itself through values. Sometimes, corporate values match the logic, experience and feeling of “how we are doing things around here”.
But, what if this is not like that?
