Episode 140: Living by our design through the lens of the Core Values Index (part 1 of 2-part series)

Living with integrity is not just about living from the right motives. It’s about living within one’s design and learning to love your limits. Have you ever wondered how your wiring impacts the way you communicate, your energy levels, your passions, your anxieties and your greatest contributions to any community? This week, Jeff and Terra take time to share insights, based on their experience using the Core Values Index (CVI), that will impact every relationship that matters to you. If you are not familiar with the Core Values Index, the Mattsons have used this time-tested assessment for the last 12 years in their counseling and organizational development practices, helping parents, couples, families and organizational teams grow in their understanding of self and others. The CVI is over 97% reliable and helps us understand our innate wiring. Listen in as Jeff and Terra share a bit about the four CVI types: Merchants, Builders, Innovators and Bankers. Listen in on this two week series to help you better understand who you are, how you operate, and next week, how you can better navigate conflict!

For more information about the Core Values Index, listen to episodes 2-5 of the Living Wholehearted Podcast.
