Values-Driven Boundaries
Discussion Document for:
Northwestern Mutual
with MaryBeth Hyland
Jo and Carrie,
I appreciate how deeply invested you are in the success of your DEI team, especially during this time of transition and staffing changes. With DEI being attacked in the news, a polarized climate, and the expectation that your team holds space for so many feeling marginalized, the pressure is real. Now is the critical moment to support your leaders.
As these changes unfold, the coming months are an opportunity for your team of 10 to gain confidence in setting values-driven boundaries that will not only serve their well-being but also strengthen the organization and its cultural norms as a whole.
Below is a custom-designed scope of work based on Carrie’s insights into what would best support your team during this period of change.

“Boundaries Tracking”
Self-Awareness Pre-Work & Book
To make the most of our live workshop together, this pre-work is an opportunity to begin to train your team in noticing and tracking where they feel skilled in boundary setting and where they need more support. They will be given a simple prompt and structure to help them ignite more self-awareness and collect data points so they can be precise in where they focus their energy during the live workshop.
We’ll also give everyone access to my bestselling book, Permission to Be Human: The Conscious Leader’s Guide to Creating a Values-Driven Culture. It will support them in understanding the role of values in culture and how boundaries are the key to success.
(Delivered as a pre-recorded video with email Q&A. Book available to download.)
“How to Set Values-Driven Boundaries” Workshop
This half-day workshop is designed specifically for DEI professionals, helping them break through limiting beliefs that hinder effective boundary-setting. Participants will gain the confidence to honor their needs, reclaim their time, and align their boundaries with core values, all while supporting their team's diverse needs. By the end, they'll build the skills to communicate boundaries clearly and confidently, fostering a more inclusive and empowered workplace.
Team members will…
✅ Understand and break through limiting beliefs holding them back from setting boundaries.
✅ Stop feeling fear and start being confident in honoring their needs and the needs of the team.
✅ Reclaim their time and energy by setting clear, effective boundaries that align with core values.
✅ Build unshakeable confidence to effectively communicate boundaries while teaching their colleagues to do the same.
(3-Hours. Delivered in-person or online.)
Boundaries Breakthrough 1x1 Coaching Sessions
Working with each team member 1x1 will provide a deeply psychologically safe space to support them in taking the workshop training to the next level of implementation and full embodiment of setting a values-driven boundary.
During two 1:1 coaching calls, we’ll dive deep into their most challenging boundary-setting conversations. Together, we’ll craft custom solutions that work to give them the tools to reclaim their energy for the long term.
Pre-Boundary Setting Coaching Session: I'll go deeper into preparing each team member for their next big boundary-setting conversation, ensuring they're ready to move forward with confidence. We’ll get clear on their language and how to uplevel their mindset and body before, during, and after setting their boundary. (~30-45 mins)
Post-Boundary Setting Coaching Session: We’ll debrief, refine their approach, and build an action plan for future boundary-setting success. They’ll be celebrated, supported, and given the tools to keep strengthening their boundary-setting muscles by meeting them where they are. (~30-45 mins)
On-Going Coaching Support
Effective boundary-setting is a muscle that requires consistent strengthening in order to do it with confidence and not fear. Ongoing office hours for precision coaching invite your team to continue doing the inner work and feel fully supported in the process.
We’ll have the opportunity to go deeper into the nuances of values-driven boundary setting and, as a result, will support a positive mindset and morale for the team overall.
(Your team of 10 would have a bank of 6 hours each month to use as needed. Sessions are typically 30-45 minutes over the phone. Can include 1 group session, if desired.)
Your Investment
Did you know that companies with strong cultures saw a fourfold increase in revenue growth?
That’s why MaryBeth has done the work to remove the overwhelm of the human experience with boundary-setting and simplify it into tangible processes. You'll leave with inspiration and tools to operationalize your core values and strengthen the culture around you.
But don’t take our word for it …
Gaining a better understanding the connection between boundary setting, my limiting beliefs and my personal values has been profound. MaryBeth is a master communicator & presents information & tools in such a practical and actionable way.
