PERMISSION TO BE HUMAN
Discussion Document for:
The Maryland
Student Affairs Conference
with MaryBeth Hyland
Zimri,
It was a gift to connect with you and your intentions for this upcoming 49th Maryland Student Affairs Conference. As promised, below is an overview of our conversation today.
There have been a series of experiences that created disconnect and poor morale amongst staff. As such, there is a desire for Maryland Student Affairs to create a sense of community to find the roots that bind everyone together. To create spaces where people feel heard and empowered to be a part of the community.
MaryBeth will customize her keynote based on her first-hand experience leading culture shifts with four University Student Affairs teams and your values of Community, Equity & Social Justice, Learning & Growth, Inclusive Excellence, Innovation and Integrity. She will inspire your team by teaching them how to embrace their well-being and move forward in alignment with their core values by giving themselves and others permission to be human.
She will ensure that staff from all levels, tenure and experience leave empowered to know, own and live their values each day. Ultimately helping you create a united values-driven culture where everyone can thrive within the community and beyond.
We look forward to continuing the conversation.
Best,
James Hyland

Permission to Be Human Keynote
How to Create A Thriving Values-Driven Culture
What if your team wasn’t drained because they’re doing too much, but rather doing too little of what reflects their values?
People crave connection, belonging, and purpose at work, but sadly that’s far from the norm for most organizations. In fact, less than 1O% of companies with core values, operationalize them to be more than just a poster on the wall – missing the opportunity to ignite authentic motivation and engagement at work.
So instead of breading an environment of disconnected, disengaged zoomed-out zombies, learn the process and skills that it takes to create a thriving people-first environment starting with yourself, then your team and company at large.
In this entertaining and interactive presentation filled with fun research and a proven values-alignment framework, MaryBeth Hyland, best-selling author and global consultant, will inspire your audience to give themselves and others, permission to be human at work, unleashing higher productivity, profit and purpose through shared values.
Are you ready to stop pretending we’re robots and start giving Permission to Be Human at work so that you can create a thriving values-driven culture?
Attendees Will:
✅ Relate, empathize, and set boundaries with culture killers and culture keepers at work
✅ Identify where their core values are being experienced or violated within their team
✅ Learn how to slow down, reflect, and realign to reduce stress and increase connection
✅ Gain a framework to start their inner leadership journey to create a conscious thriving culture

Ground in Your Values Breakout Session
Release Stress and Ignite Alignment
77% of us are reporting that we’re burnt out! It’s time to take control of your well-being and reduce your stress by grounding in your values.
Purpose & Objective:
During times of anxiety, stress, and burnout, core values are the grounding force that eliminates those feelings of overwhelm so that you can serve yourself and those around you.
Whether you realize it not, you are a walking, talking, living, loving, breathing set of values. From the job you choose to the clothes you wear to the people and experiences you enjoy — your choices are a reflection of your values. When those values are violated, stress is the result, and when they’re activated, you feel alive!
So when you know how to intentionally activate your core values, incredible power, energy, and freedom become possible for you with ease and grace.
This workshop will teach you how to own your core values* and harness them as a compass to stay grounded, connected, and aligned so that you can start and end the day feeling filled and not drained.
*Can be customized to the shared core values of your company.
Attendees Will:
✅ Learn how their energy is filled and drained based on values alignment and disconnect
✅ Identify one to three core values that can serve as stress relief
✅ Ignite new values-based mindfulness practices to intentionally activate core values
✅ Gain practical tips and tools to embody core values from a place of empowerment and possibility each day.
