A Buckley Method® Workshop
What happens after your client names their values?
That's the part nobody teaches.
The Value of Values Work
A two-hour workshop on why values work doesn't always translate into change —
and what to do differently in the moment.
Values work can be foundational,
important work.
Card sorts, lists, "deep core values" exercises, beautifully designed worksheets. Most of it is genuinely well-intentioned, real work. And you've seen it open something real more than once.
And yet —
It also tends to plateau in the same place. Your client names their values. The session feels meaningful. And then six weeks later their life looks pretty much the same as it did before.
If you've seen that happen, this workshop is for you.
If you haven't, you probably don't need it.
This isn't a flaw in your coaching.
It's a gap in how values work is typically taught.
Most values work — even very good values work — operates at one specific level. And there are additional layers where the actual change happens.
Even in good values work, research has shown a big ol' gap, and it's a deeply important one to fill for impact, effectiveness, and excellence.
I've been working at those additional layers for two and a half decades. My doctoral research validated what I'd been seeing in clients all along.
Your client says they value freedom above everything.
They also works seventy-hour weeks in a job they don't believe in. That's not a contradiction.
It's a values architecture problem —
and there's something you can do with it.

What this Workshop Gives You
In two hours, you'll learn how to:
Spot where values work is breaking down in real time
Understand why powerful sessions don't always translate into change
Intervene differently so the work actually carries beyond the room
You won't leave with (just) theory.
You'll leave knowing what to do the next time a client says "my values are integrity, family, and growth" …
and nothing changes.
What We'll Explore
Two hours. Practical. Grounded. Immediately usable.
The psychology underneath the conversation
Why values work moves people when it does — and where it slips past the surface.
A few questions you may not have tried yet
Small shifts that change how the conversation lands.
The Values–Boundaries Paradox
How a client's most cherished values can quietly keep them stuck, and how to work with it.
Values Vertigo
That moment when everything starts to wobble. Not resistance … but a signal.
And a specific way to meet it.
A handful of original exercises
Built for real conversations with real clients. Use them immediately.
Who This is For
For coaches and practitioners who already do values work — and want it to have more impact.
Coaches who know the work is good and want to take it further
Practitioners who want to understand what's actually happening beneath the conversation — the gap research points to
Experienced coaches who value precision over more tools
Therapists and counselors who do coaching adjacent work and want something more substantive
Anyone who uses values in their work and has wondered why it doesn't always stick
No credential required.
Just curiosity and a willingness to see your work differently.
"Working with Randi and learning from her has been life-changing.”
“No hyperbole here – and completely shifted my mind frame (and behaviors) regarding boundaries."
— Dr. Lilia Graue, MD, Mexico City/London
"Randi has given me the courage I need to say no.”
“I’ve struggled with boundaries all of my life. But after working with Randi Buckley I have learned to set and enforce them - while still maintaining my kindness. I’m forever grateful for her wise guidance.”
— Theresa Reed, The Tarot Lady

Hello. My name is Randi Buckley
Doctoral researcher. Coach. Mentor. And, your instructor.
Twenty-five years sitting with capable, caring, deeply responsible people — and figuring out what actually changes them.
I trained as a therapist. Studied counseling psychology, medical ethics, anatomy and physiology. My coach training spans the Co-Active Institute, the Center for Right Relationship, the Gottman Institute, and private mentorships with coaching mentors I chose carefully. I was studying to become a midwife when I realized that for me, that was metaphorical.
I've trained staff and presented at the Omega Institute, Ben and Jerry's, and Stanford University. I served as an on-set coach for NBC's Friends. I created Healthy Boundaries for Kind People® and Maybe Baby®.
My doctoral research on boundary development as identity transformation produced original theoretical contributions that have never appeared in the coaching literature before — the Values–Boundaries Paradox, Values Vertigo, Stage Zero. These aren't borrowed frameworks. They came out of rigorous research into what actually happens when people transform, and why most approaches stop short of it.
I'm also an experiential educator — decades of designing learning that changes how people practice, not just what they understand. Which is a long way of saying: this won't be a lecture. You'll use what I teach you before you leave.
I teach what I've found. Not theory for its own sake. Tools and frameworks that change what happens in the room — between a coach and a client, a leader and their team, or anyone navigating a conversation that matters.
Teaching coaching is one of my favorite things.
And it shows.
Come spend a Saturday morning with me.
Bring a real client situation.
Bring a notebook.
Leave with a way of working that carries beyond a coaching session.
