The holiday season can be overwhelming, filled with obligations and competing demands. This session offers a short, values‑based exercise to help participants reconnect with what matters most. Using guided reflection on joy, pride, and fulfillment, attendees will identify their core values and translate them into a simple statement and action plan. By grounding in values, participants can clarify focus, set boundaries, and navigate the season with greater steadiness and meaning.

Led by Dr. Drew B. Mallory, professor of management and organizational behavior and executive coach, this session draws on his expertise in intersectional inclusion, wellness, and executive coaching. Dr. Drew specializes in helping individuals and organizations align actions with values, making this exercise both practical and deeply relevant for navigating stressful times.
