Hey there! Nathan again. In order to go on in HS101, you need to be able to articulate your own awareness-guiding personal value phrases and those of others. If you struggle, you'll need to keep training your skills in ❣️Emotions to Values and 💡Wisdom Interviews.

Note: This is not an arbitrary obstacle. Articulating clear, awareness-guiding personal values is the foundation of the rest of what you will learn in HS101.

Round 1: Digging for Personal Values

An Honesty Value

Use the tools at your disposal to articulate one of your personal values around "honesty"

🌳 honesty:

Don't forget that personal values are clear, awareness-guiding improvisational directives.

Round 2: Finding Values Moment to Moment

Impulses/Appreciations to Values

Clear your mind with a few deep breaths. Then sit quietly for a minute or two and write down three things that you notice wanting to do (impulses) or that are beautiful or inspiring to you right now (appreciations).

#1

#2

#3

Now use whatever method seems appropriate to you (on my own terms, emotions to values, intuition, journaling, etc.) to find the personal value phrases that lie behind theses small experiences. Make sure to filter out expectations and outcomes!

Round 3: Starting a Redesign Project

Step One

To use the Human Systems 📚Redesign Method, you must start with two things: (1) a social process you want to redesign, and (2) a set of suppressed values in the current design. For instance you could redesign...

Social Processes You Could Redesign

A social process is something a group of people do that can be described as a game: composed of roles, rules, and steps, where it goes roughly the same way every time. For your first redesign, we will focus on smaller scale systems.

Room-scale

Group practices party formats, bars, clubs, debate structures, group therapy or support practices, church meetings, improv scores

Family & shared living family dinner, chores, partnership expectations, parent-child time

Rituals daily practices, weddings, funerals, coming of age, new team members, trials

Org-scale

Organizational policies promotions reviews, project planning meetings, budget allocation, stand-ups, reporting structures

Workplaces team checkins, lunches, group physical activities

Schools grading, classroom exercises, teamwork structures, credentialing practices

Three Human Systems I Could Redesign:

Step Two

Identify Three Suppressed Values:

In order to move past the Personal Values boss level, you'll need to gather three suppressed values from the system above. It's probably best to use ❣️Emotions to Values.

Articulate at least one personal value of your own, and at least one from another person.

List the personal values below and let me know when you're ready to submit them for review.
