Podcasts about culture building

Work-life balance is a myth. Burnout is everywhere. And most leaders are lying to themselves about what it takes to win.In today's Spartan Leadership episode, Josh Kosnick sits down with JM Ryerson — Leadership & Performance Coach, bestselling author, and founder of Let's Go Win — for a candid conversation on authenticity, mindset, culture, and the realities of high-performance living.With over 20 years building elite sales teams and coaching top CEOs, JM breaks down:

In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we delve into the importance of security and open communication within organizations. With a record number of elections and global distrust in institutions, security teams must foster collaboration and personal connectivity to build trust and ensure everyone's safety. The discussion covers the challenges of balancing security measures with human interaction, the significance of training programs, and how to manage and mitigate workplace anger effectively. The conversation also delves into the role of emotional intelligence in leadership and the need for comprehensive inside threat analysis to preemptively identify and address potential risks.Key TakeawaysSecurity is about collaboration, trust, and meeting people where they are—not just rules and restrictions.Open, honest conversations about difficult topics (like anger and workplace safety) are essential for a healthy organization.Security professionals should serve as culture-bearers, modeling the values and behaviors they want to see.Emotional intelligence and empathy are critical leadership skills, especially post-COVID.Security knowledge should be shared beyond the workplace to benefit families and communities.Addressing insider threats requires long-term, holistic approaches, not just reactive measures.Notable Quotes"The message is not always guns, guards, gates, lock it down. The message is: how do we work together to collectively secure everyone?""You have to meet people where they are. You can't be a robot.""Collaboration and trust are the foundation of civilization—and we need to get back to that.""Security is a primary culture bearer of what we do here.""Anger is real. It's in your organization. We have to be able to have these conversations and deal with it.""It all starts with you."To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

In this episode of the Fearless Mindset Podcast, we delve into the importance of leadership and creating a safe, inclusive work culture in security with industry experts. The conversation touches on the critical role of trust, leading during times of crisis, and managing risk in a rapidly changing world. Ludlow and guests share insights from recent events, the evolution of organizational threats, and how to foster a resilient, people-focused company culture.Key TakeawaysLeadership in security is about influencing people and building a culture of care and trust.Modern threats are increasingly internal, not just external, requiring leaders to "read the room" and understand employee well-being.Company culture is critical, especially in times of crisis and disruption; organizations with intentional cultures fare better.Focusing on people, not just operations, is essential for resilience and long-term success.Trust must be built and cannot be assumed; employees need to feel safe, accepted, and part of the mission.Diversity in skills, experiences, and perspectives strengthens organizations.Leaders should empower employees to take ownership of their own security and well-being.Notable Quotes"We focus on people because people matter, and it matters a lot.""You are not going to hit your goals if your people are not there.""We are not taking care of this for them; they are part of the process.""Trust must be built and not assumed from day one.""I'm not here to hire sheriffs, I'm here to hire mayors.""Diversity is not about followers, religions, or converse. It's about skills."To hear more episodes of The Fearless Mindset podcast, you can go to https://the-fearless-mindset.simplecast.com/ or listen on major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, etc. You can also subscribe to the Fearless Mindset YouTube Channel to watch episodes on video.

This week, I sat down with Dan Barnes, Managing Director of Flourish Hospitality, a learning and development consultancy built on one simple idea: that every moment in hospitality is a chance to help someone grow.Dan's story is one of those brilliant hospitality journeys that started with polishing cutlery and pretending to be a grown-up in a suit and somehow led to building learning cultures across hotels, restaurants and private members' clubs.From Marriott to Edwardian Hotels, Caprice Holdings and now Flourish, Dan's career has been a masterclass in curiosity, creativity, and learning the hard (but hilarious) way.In this episode, Dan and I dive into…How he went from dreaming of being a history teacher to becoming hospitality's go-to L&D guruThe lessons learned from Marriott's graduate scheme (and a haggis-related feedback story you won't forget)His time at Edwardian Hotels, where he built a Food & Beverage Academy and developed “The Service World to Stage” programWhy L&D in hospitality is the only truly positive role in HRThe realities of pre-opening a major hotel and the mantra that kept him saneThe joy (and chaos) of opening Annabel's and running training for 1,500 people at Caprice HoldingsWhy feedback hurts, but silence in a training room hurts moreAnd the beautiful truth that great hospitality isn't an act, it's genuine human connectionDan Barnes Quotes“Learning and development is the one truly positive role where every interaction is positive.”“It doesn't have to be perfect for it to be wonderful.”“If you're good at L&D, you build rapport — which is essentially hospitality skills.”“You can't inspire people on day one with food safety. Orientation should be about joining the journey.”“As long as you're passionate about hospitality, you can find a career anywhere.”Why this episode is worth your timeDan embodies everything great about hospitality learning, heart, humour, and humility.This episode is packed with wisdom for anyone who's ever tried to train, lead, or inspire a team while the fire alarm's going off.It's honest, it's funny, and it's full of lessons about resilience, storytelling, and why you should always leave space for people to find their own answers.Show PartnersA big shout out to Today's show partner, RotaCloud, the people management platform for shift-based teams.RotaCloud lets managers create and share rotas, record attendance, and manage annual leave in minutes — all from a single, web-based app.It makes work simple for your team, too, allowing them to check their rotas, request holiday, and even pick up extra shifts straight from their phones.Try RotaCloud's time-saving tools today by heading to https://rotacloud.com/philThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

As the end of the year approaches, it's tempting to push for maximum productivity, rush through holiday celebrations, and then collapse in a heap on Christmas Eve and call it done.But I want to challenge that. In this week's episode, I'm talking about the power of celebration, why your team party isn't just a party, but a culture-building strategy disguised as fun.I share stories from my own salons, where what started as a Christmas party evolved into something far more meaningful, a night of reflection, recognition, and connection. You'll hear why celebrating your people is one of the smartest leadership moves you can make, and how simple, intentional gestures can anchor your team culture for the year ahead.So before you dive into 2026 planning, hit pause, listen in, and get inspired to make this year's celebration something your team will never forget and set your salon up for the year ahead.IN THIS EPISODE:[01:07] Why the end of the year matters for reflection and gratitude[02:00] The evolution of my salon's Christmas parties[03:13] Turning parties into powerful culture-building moments[04:42] The importance of team culture and belonging[06:13] Creating in-house awards and recognising achievement[07:52] Praise, purpose, and progress, what people crave at work[08:25] Building culture through moments, not KPIs[10:18] A framework for planning your end-of-year celebration[11:17] Creative salon award ideas to strengthen connectionWant MORE to help you GROW?

What if the fastest way to unlock performance isn't to lead louder, but to host better? We sit down with best-selling author Steve Fortunato to rethink leadership through the lens of hospitality—not the restaurant kind, the human kind. Steve reveals why so much “look at me” leadership creates a vicious cycle of entitlement, and how the host mindset flips the script to “look at you,” building trust, engagement, and shared ownership.We dig into three practical principles you can apply today. First, speak the good: start by changing the inner voice you lead from, then actively name strengths in colleagues, clients, and your company to counter negativity bias and build momentum. Second, honor the other: elevate dignity with real curiosity, mine for the gold, and apply what you learn through personalized recognition, better questions, and tailored support. Third, earn respect, don't expect it: stand in their shoes to understand pressures and constraints, and pursue reconciliation when things go wrong so relationships are restored, not just transactions.Throughout the conversation, Steve connects leadership and hospitality with vivid stories: power dynamics that make customers feel “lucky to be here,” the ecosystem of value that requires giving before getting, and how small hosting rituals—clear openings, inviting voices, pronouncing names right, closing loops—quietly transform culture. We close with a simple loop to keep you improving: celebrate what worked, then pick one thing to refine next time. If you're ready to trade performative heroics for meaningful hosting, this one will change how you run meetings, lead projects, and serve customers.

On this transformative episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host and wellness coach, Darlene Marshall, helps us rethink everything we know about self-care. Tired of the endless influencer-driven trends, fluffy hashtags, and the message that wellness is something you buy? Darlene takes us back to the roots, uncovering how self-care originated in social justice and chronic illness spaces, and how it became a commodity in recent years. Darlene shares her personal journey with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and explains why real self-care isn't found in supplements or spa days, but in consistently meeting your foundational needs. Using a fresh, evidence-based approach, she introduces the powerful concept of applying systems thinking—typically used in business and design—to your own wellbeing. Discover how habits, routines, and feedback loops can work together to support your physical, emotional, and higher order needs without cognitive overload or decision fatigue. You'll learn why self-care isn't selfish and how it enables you to show up more powerfully for yourself and others. Darlene walks through Maslow's hierarchy of needs with a twist: it's not about climbing a pyramid but sending ripples of positive impact out into the world, starting with the essentials like sleep, nutrition, and boundaries.Packed with practical tips and compassionate insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim self-care from marketing trends and build lasting, meaningful systems for a better, more balanced life.

What if the most successful companies aren't the ones with the best perks or highest salaries, but the ones that have cracked the code on engineering authentic human connection? Nick Lombardino, Co-Founder of CultureCon, stumbled upon this truth during focus groups that were supposed to validate a technology solution. Instead, he uncovered a startling revelation: people weren't craving another digital tool; they were desperately seeking genuine connection in their workplaces. This unexpected discovery sparked a seven-year experiment that's been quietly revolutionizing how forward-thinking leaders approach culture. The secret? What Nick calls "engineered synchronicities"—strategic moments that feel spontaneous but are carefully designed to create the kind of authentic connections that transform entire organizations. In this episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin speaks with Nick Lombardino about the counterintuitive insights that emerge when you stop treating culture as a nice-to-have and start engineering it as your competitive advantage. Nick reveals why the companies thriving today have abandoned traditional culture-building in favor of something far more powerful and surprisingly simple. You'll discover the hidden psychology behind why some teams feel like families while others remain collections of strangers, even after years of working together. Traci and Nick explore the specific behaviors that separate leaders who inspire fierce loyalty from those who struggle with constant turnover, and why the answer might surprise you. But here's what makes this conversation different: Nick shares the exact framework he's used to help organizations create what he calls "magnetic cultures"—workplaces so compelling that people actively recruit their friends to join. If you've ever wondered why some companies have waiting lists of candidates while others can't retain talent, this episode holds the answers you've been searching for.
