What are Toward and Away values?

Toward values are feelings people want to experience, such as freedom. Away values are feelings people want to avoid, such as rejection.

Other common Toward values include connection and achievement. Other Away values include boredom and conflict. Both are powerful motivators, and seeing them together gives a fuller picture of what drives people.
