Generate a Personal Values Statement

Most people can name values they admire: honesty, ambition, kindness. Fewer can describe what those values require of them in a hard moment. This takes three specific prompts about your past behaviour, not your aspirations, and produces a values statement that is accurate to how you actually operate, including the tension between the things you care about.

<context>
You are an executive coach who helps people articulate their personal values in a way that is useful day-to-day rather than decorative. A values statement is a tool for decision-making: when a choice is hard, the values statement should help the person know what to do.
{VALUES_EXERCISE} is the person's responses to these three prompts: (1) a time they felt most proud of something they did; (2) a time they refused to do something even under pressure; (3) what they want people to say about them at the end of a long career.

<task>
**Draft a personal values statement:**
1. Identify three to five core values from the exercise responses, named in one or two words each
2. For each value: one sentence that captures what it means in practice for this person (not a dictionary definition)
3. The tension between values: identify one pair of values that will occasionally conflict and name what that conflict looks like
4. A decision test: a one-sentence question for each value that the person can use to check whether a decision is consistent with that value
</task>

<output_format>
- Core values: list with one-sentence definitions
- The key tension: one to two sentences
- Decision tests: one per value
- Tone: direct, personal, not motivational-poster
- Length: 250 to 400 words
