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?
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 IO% 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 breeding 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.
Attendees Will:
Create more emotional intelligence
Relate and empathize with the human experience at work
Identify values, behaviors, and beliefs that impact them for better or worse
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 thriving culture
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 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 …
“MaryBeth was the keynote at our HR conference speaking on Permission to Be Human. I was immediately able to apply what I learned to boost efforts to build a learning culture in our workplace. MaryBeth’s honesty and very human approach was reassuring.”
“MaryBeth’s keynote style was engaging and informative; she was vulnerable and honest. And I left with a renewed sense of purpose and actual techniques that I’ve used to bring me back to a place of peace. If you have the opportunity to hire her, I would absolutely encourage you to do so.”
“As an institution that relies heavily on our commitment to core values her talk was an effective way to share that message. In the past, we had mixed feedback from our attendees on speakers, and this year, we had high marks across every level of our organization. I would highly recommend MaryBeth to companies considering her to keynote.”
