Know Your Values. Design Your Life. — Jamie O'Donnell
Free Values Alignment Exercise

Your Values Are Your Operating System. Are Yours Designed, or Default?

When your values aren't clearly defined, your decisions get driven by pressure, expectations, and what you think you should do, instead of what actually matters. That's why you feel pulled in every direction and drained even when you're making progress. You're not burnt out. You're misaligned.

A high-performance life isn't about doing more, it's about doing what matters. This is the same structured coaching exercise used in 1-on-1 work with athletes, founders, and business owners. It takes 15 minutes, and you'll walk away with total clarity on what actually matters to you, so you can align your life with it.

Stop pouring energy into things that don't actually move the needle
Make decisions from a place of clarity and confidence, not reactivity
Know your non-negotiables so you stop second-guessing yourself
Walk away with a personalised coaching summary you can act on today

Most high achievers are running
on borrowed values.

01

You're chasing goals that made sense at some point, but if you're honest, you don't know if they're actually yours.

02

You hit the goal and feel surprisingly flat. Like the finish line moved the moment you crossed it.

03

You're busy but not fulfilled. Productive but not purposeful. The calendar is full and something still feels missing.

04

Decision fatigue is real. Without a clear internal compass, every choice costs more energy than it should.

Most people have unconsciously absorbed the values of social media, mentors, family members, and society without ever questioning whether those values are actually theirs.

Burnout doesn't come from doing too much. It comes from doing too much of the wrong things, a life filled with obligation, running on default, optimising for a version of success you never actually chose.

This isn't another values quiz.

Most values exercises

Hand you a list of words, ask you to pick a few, and call it done. No depth. No challenge. No real change.

This exercise

Makes you rank, sacrifice, and commit. Then generates a personalised coaching analysis that reads like a session with someone who actually sees you.

Get clarity that most people
spend years avoiding.

Four focused steps. No fluff. Just honest questions that surface what you actually value, and a personalised coaching summary that tells you what your answers reveal.

01
The Energy Audit
See exactly where your time and energy are going. Cross out the commitments you're carrying for the wrong reasons and watch what survives. The list that remains is more honest than anything you'll tell yourself.
02
Your Real Values
Not the ones that sound good on paper. Not the ones you borrowed from someone you admire. The values that actually show up when you're under pressure, when nobody's watching, and when it costs you something. Those are the ones that count.
03
The Hierarchy and the Trade-Offs
Rank what matters most and name what you're willing to sacrifice to protect it. This is the step most values exercises skip entirely, and it's the one that changes everything. If you can't name the trade-off, it's not a real value.
04
Your Personalised Coaching Summary
An AI-powered coaching analysis built from your exact answers. Not a generic report. A sharp, honest read of what your values combination reveals about how you operate, where your blind spots are, and one specific challenge to act on this week.

Most high performers know exactly what they're doing. Very few know why they are actually doing it. This is where that changes.

Jamie O'Donnell, High-Performance Coach

Your values are your
operating system.

You've read this far because something isn't aligned. You already know it. This exercise will show you exactly what it is and what to do about it.
