Creating Uplift Cultures

You know them, the cultures where everyone walks in excited, knowing their mission and role and holding each other to high standards. You might also know the opposite. In this workshop, we take culture down from the abstract into six key leverage points to help you articulate and build a dynamic, thriving and inclusive culture. We are all culture creators, and few leverage points can make a world of difference.

Leading Consequential Change

Leading change is not for the faint of heart. Leading requires heart and muscles.  It is a set of muscles and practices that can be learned, leveraged, shared and mastered. If everyone got 10% better at leading change each season, the world, our organizations and our lives would be better. This workshop outlines the art and practice of leading change that you can start applying the very same day.
