My background in feature writing and corporate communications provided a solid decade of opportunities to work with professionals in industries varying from fashion boutiques to commercial aviation and nuclear power.
In a nutshell, my role was to dig into the weeds, learn the nuts and bolts, take the rabbit trails and distill all of the information down in the most simple, straightforward way so that others could take the information and use it.
Now I get to do the same work—obsessively diving into the nitty-gritty details of the Hartman Value Profile and then distilling it all down—so it can be used in everyday life to build lives of purpose, integrity and well-being.

About the Profile Creator
Dr. Hartman was a professor of philosophy and spent the majority of his career teaching and researching in the philosophical field of axiology—the study of human beings from the perspective of our value systems.
He believed that a person’s values constituted a major motivation in the way they live their life. And, that those values are primarily manifested or demonstrated in the judgments, decisions and choices that drive a person’s life.
He was nominated for the Nobel Prize right before his death in 1973.
