About The HVP in Real Life 
by Joy Lavallee

A couple of years ago, I started wondering, “Is there a way that my work can give me as much energy back as I pour into it?

I knew how to build a business in a way that was exhausting, required juggling to keep all the plates spinning, and inevitably would include burnout down the road. But I was tired of juggling and I was tired of working on projects when I wanted to be getting sleep.

The Hartman Value Profile is a tool that gave me the framework to start learning how to build something solid and sustainable. I started to enjoy the process too.

The Hartman Value Profile, created by Robert S. Hartman in the 1960’s, measures an individual’s value judgment. Basically, how we rate and organize and assign value to everything we experience and encounter.

That sounds kinda blah and technical. But in practical life, it’s pretty exciting to me because it’s the lens that determines how we think and make decisions. So, it impacts everything.

Currently, I’m writing out a series of overviews of the indicators measured in the Profile to create a sort of Index. When I know what the next step is, I’ll let you know.
