Materials

Handout–Most Important to Me

Time

1 hr

Method

Knowing our priorities and knowing ourselves is the best formula for getting what we want. Life is full of choices and knowing what is important can help us make decisions.

1. Facilitators should first review the handout with participants to go over any unfamiliar vocabulary and to give explanations as required.
2. Ask participants to fill out the worksheet as best as they can. Facilitators should guide the participants to try to be as decisive as possible about their priorities and not have too many X’s in the neutral area.
3. After they have completed the worksheet, ask them to make a list of absolute priority work preferences to keep as a guide or reference for future work explorations.
