Topic 1: Welcome Dr. Clifford Hurst; Talk About
Robert S. Hartman’s Work, How You Came Across It and Why You Are
Committed to Sharing it With Others:
- In 2002, TTI introduced me to the Hartman Value Profile, the
assessment was very accurate.
- When I started using the Hartman Value Profile, I thought it
was magic, it's like the mass just melted away and people got very
real, very quickly.
- I started using the assessment but did not know where the
information came from, I thought, “I better learn more about where
this came from.”
- I wanted to become a more theoretically grounded
consultant.
- Hartman was to me a polymath, someone who knows a whole lot
about a lot of things. And I look back at my own career and I look
at a lot of people who are using the instrument as consultants. If
the only thing you're doing is the instrument, you're leaving a lot
of richness off the table because Hartman was so thoughtful about
so many different things that the theory of Formal Axiology is much
richer than the instrument itself.
- The stuff started by Robert S. Hartman in 1958 has created $7
trillion of personal wealth in America, and most people don't know
that came from Hartman.

Topic 2: How Would You Explain to
Someone How this Science Lends Itself to so Many
Disciplines?:
- It is the Science of Value of Morals.
- Let's say a business is only about making money, but it should
be about the human good, and the good of everyone involved in that,
the science reframes a lot.
- Book: From the Neck Up bySteve Byrum.
- Today's young people more than anything else don't want just a
job when they graduate, they want to find meaning in their own
lives and they want to make a difference in the world through their
work. I believe Hartman's theory allows us to honor that
ambition.
- Balance of systemic, extrinsic and intrinsic.
- Hartman’s theory provides a balanced perspective to your
cognitive habits and provides a moral foundation to what we ought
to be doing in the world.

Topic 3: Two gifts that the Hartman Value Profile Gives
People:
- One: It gives you the ability to bring to conscious awareness
all patterns that you've had held subconsciously, these things that
we don't know about how we think.
- What are your habitual realities? Without the Hartman Value
Profile, we don't know what our habitual thought patterns are.
- Two: It brings to conscious awareness are called cognitive
horizons, how far can you think, what are the limits of your
cognitive processes? It gives us a language with which to
understand it.
- All understanding is linguistic; we can't process stuff if we
don't have a language with which to process it.

Topic 4: Other Ways Hartman’s Work Has Impacted
Your Life:
- Hartman, “There are only four steps to a successful life.
Number one, know yourself. Two, choose yourself. Three, grow
yourself. And four, give yourself to something greater than
you.”
- My mission is to help my students to know themselves, choose
themselves and give yourself to something greater than you.
