Every group of humans who spend time together develops a group culture — a set of behavioral or attitudinal norms. These norms become the group’s default way of being — the way they are without even thinking about it.

See where I’m going?

When it comes to our teams, building culture — common behaviors and practices — intentionally, helps us create the culture we want. The culture that makes for a happy team and happy business results.

This week and next, we’re talking about how to build exceptional team culture.

How you, as a leader, can create moments that show your team how to handle the situation in front of them, but also help them make exceptional decisions in the future that reinforce the culture you’re building.

Thanks for listening.

Today we’re talking about a standard I recommend to my clients: self-evaluation without self-judgment.

Many of us are committed to learning, growth, and deeper self-understanding.

Judgment moves us farther away from these things. Every single time.

Setting this standard means — inside your own mind — redirecting self-judgment. Instead of judging, you’ll walk yourself through an evaluation process.

Because, unlike judgment, evaluation drives momentum and major growth. And when you regularly redirect your mind in this way, evaluation becomes the norm for assessing yourself.

We’ll talk about exactly what these two different experiences feel like, and exactly how to redirect your brain.

Thanks for listening.

Today is the 2nd of two episodes on creating a great meeting culture and improving your company or team meetings. (Or your one-on-ones!)

This episode is all about clear and well-executed roles. We’re talking about facilitation, participation, power structure, decision-making, and having the right people in the room. We’ll also talk about why facilitation and participation aren’t tasks, but position descriptions.

Listen in to build meeting momentum that leads to fun, impactful meetings that help you build the team you want. And move you meaningfully toward achieving your goals.
