At SERI, we believe that meaningful social impact starts from within. That’s why we’re offering Value Cards—a free, reflective tool to help you connect with what truly drives you.
Your values are your internal compass, quietly guiding every decision you make in your social entrepreneurship journey. Whether you're launching a community project, leading a team, or navigating complex challenges, knowing your core values gives you clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Value Cards are a simple yet powerful exercise to reflect on what matters most to you, to rank your top 10 personal values, and to gain insight into how your values align with your work.
These are not pre-filled cards—instead, they’re intentionally left blank to give you full freedom to explore and define your own values. This reflective exercise invites you to:
-Write down the words or phrases that represent what matters most to you.
-Curate and prioritize your top 10 personal values.
-Reflect on how your values align with your work and mission.
-Use the cards as a conversation starter with your team, a leadership clarity tool, or a personal growth practice
When you lead with your values, you don’t just create impact—you create authentic, lasting change. This tool helps you define what “success” means on your terms and navigate tough choices with integrity.
