Value Cards

Discover What Drives You — and Your Team
Do you know your core values? What about the values that guide your team as a whole?

The John Maxwell Value Cards Experience is a powerful, interactive session facilitated to help individuals and teams identify what matters most. Together, we’ll clarify your values and use them as a compass for better decision making, stronger collaboration, and more authentic leadership.

When you understand your own values—and those of your teammates—you unlock deeper trust, stronger communication, and greater connection across your organization.

During the session, your group will be guided through engaging discussions and exercises using a deck of cards that defines specific values. You’ll then narrow your choices to your top three to five core values, leaving with clarity and practical insights you can immediately apply.

Discover what truly drives your team—and watch clarity turn into confidence and connection.
