Humber Values Perspectives Certification Level 1
Welcome!
We are so happy that you are joining this certification group and we are very grateful for each of your contributions to date, and your continued participation and interest in working with values. Our overall objective is to foster sustainable values alignment in ORI by offering additional training in how values work and how to support team members and your team as a whole in living its values.
The training is in values coaching, and explores the factors that underlie values dynamics and non-judgmental coaching practices, and how understanding values can enhance developmental efforts and specific life and work issues. We focus on how to use the Values Perspectives survey as a tool; but also on how to understand the Values Perspectives model and how it can be used on its own without need for the survey. Most fundamentally, it aims to foster skills to support the practice of dialogue. We believe deeper training in values is a way to deepen and extend one’s skills interpersonally and as a contributing team member.
The certificate awarded on completion allows its holder to access the online Values Perspectives survey and reports and to conduct values-based coaching, and to access additional resources and community and potential professional opportunities. The certificate is not limited to ORI or Humber, it belongs to the certified practitioner regardless of affilitation.

Life is in the Transitions
A pioneering and timely study of how to navigate life’s biggest transitions with meaning, purpose, and skill.
Bruce Feiler, author of the New York Times bestsellers The Secrets of Happy Families and Council of Dads, has long explored the stories that give our lives meaning. Galvanized by a personal crisis, he spent the last few years crisscrossing the country, collecting hundreds of life stories of Americans in all 50 states who’d been through major life changes—from losing jobs to losing loved ones; changing careers to changing relationships; getting sober to getting healthy to simply looking for a fresh start. He then spent a year coding these stories, identifying patterns and takeaways that can help all of us survive and thrive in times of change.

At its core is an analysis of assumptions about learning, the nature and purpose of dialogue, and how we can come to a more effective understanding and practice of leveraging real power as leaders and within groups. Available in the ORI library.
