The ENFP survival guide book has a values exercise which I found helpful in shaping how i want to use my values in what I do with my career. I actually took those pages and worked with my employee together to understand values and then did a career vision statement to help us gain insight on what we want to do with our jobs.

Best of luck! And as always, we are here for you!!
