About Us

Welcome to Value Builders International (VBI), where we are dedicated to making the world a better place by transforming lives and businesses through the power of values. United by a shared mission, we believe in improving the values of individuals and organizations, one life at a time, to create lasting, meaningful change.

Our Story

Value Builders International began its journey in 1986 as Lee Resources International, a high-level consulting firm primarily serving the lumber industry. In 2007, Bob Erwin acquired the company and, together with Dwayne Moore, evolved it into the transformative organization we know today. VBI’s mission extends far beyond consulting—we aim to change the world by improving values.

Inspired by the foundational belief that good reflects the essence of God, Bob and Dwayne expanded VBI’s impact through innovative tools like the Hartman Value Profile (HVP). This revolutionary assessment has enabled us to help individuals, families, and businesses unlock their potential, foster growth, and thrive in alignment with their core values.

What We Do

At VBI, we empower individuals and organizations by leveraging:

• Behavioral Assessment Tools: The Hartman Value Profile (HVP) helps people understand their internal and external thinking patterns, leading to personal growth and better decision-making.
• Coaching Expertise: With over 15 years of experience, we specialize in coaching across diverse areas such as personal development, addiction recovery, marriage counseling, business performance, and more.
• Life-Changing Initiatives: From strengthening relationships to reducing recidivism rates among incarcerated individuals, our programs have transformed lives and created measurable results.

Our Impact

The results speak for themselves:

• A 50% improvement in values quality within just 30 days of coaching.
• Recidivism rates among participants dropped from 70% to under 10%.
• Countless success stories in areas like grief recovery, parent-teen connections, and business team building.

The Science Behind Our Work

At the core of our approach is formal axiology, the study of values developed by Dr. Robert S. Hartman. By assessing both internal thinking (self-worth, confidence) and external thinking (relationships, decision-making), the HVP provides actionable insights that inspire growth and transformation.

Join the Movement

VBI is more than an organization; we are a community united by a commitment to helping others thrive. Whether it’s through personal coaching, business consulting, or outreach programs, our work creates a ripple effect of positivity and progress.
