Inventory of Personal Non-Negotiables

This directive helps a client define the core principles and conditions they are unwilling to.

When a client feels stuck, especially before a major decision, it’s often because their decision-making criteria are vague or borrowed from others. They might articulate what they think they should value, but they struggle to identify the absolute conditions required for their own well-being and integrity. This can lead to chronic indecision or a pattern of choices that create resentment.

This assessment helps the client codify those personal requirements into a clear, concise inventory. It moves them from abstract ideals to a practical set of standards they can apply to future choices. The client leaves with a personal constitution, a definitive reference point for what they must have, and what they will not accept, in their life and work.


Inventory of Personal Non-Negotiables

A non-negotiable is a condition, principle, or standard you are unwilling to compromise. Complete the inventory below. For each non-negotiable you list, state its origin, identify where it is currently being compromised, and describe the specific result of that compromise.
