Lorie Corcuera is a survivor of mental and physical abuse. Having observed her mother go through this with her father, Lorie found herself married to a man who was much like her father. Having escaped the cycle of abuse, she reclaimed herself and learned how to love the person that she is. Having persevered through the abuse and rising above the notion of trying to please others above herself, Lorie recreated her vision of what it means to be able to serve and love others at the highest level. Having done this, she created her company, Spark Creations & Company Inc. where she helps others create meaning in their lives. She teaches workshops on saying “no” and how to respond to emotionally charged situations. Our conversation covers a lot of ground and I found Lorie to be very vulnerable in sharing her history. Her courage is evident throughout our time together and her love of others shines through her lessons. Lorie is definitely putting #LITA into action!

If there is a silver lining of the last few weeks, it is that people are becoming even more aware of what is most important to them and focusing on it. That is the work SPARK has been doing for years and what better time than now to have a conversation about purpose, value, and fulfillment. Lorie Corcuera is the Head of Culture and Belonging for SPARK Creations and Company and has spent years working with organizations to help them reflect on what is most important to them and live intentionally. In today's episode, learn about fulfillment, purpose, and coming out of these difficult times better than ever.

There’s some logic that can’t be overstated when it comes to workplace culture. Since workplaces are created by humans and their experiences, workplace culture is essentially human experience. And that means our work on workplace culture needs to start with humans: individual people who come to work with their complete selves, warts and all. This is the idea that gets Lorie Corcuera out of bed each day. She’s a strategic culture leader helping individuals and organizations make their work environments more friendly to humans, the world over. This means she spends a lot of time thinking about the importance of experiences, and how we can enable more positive, and even loving, connections at work. To this end, Lorie and her team at Spark Creations conducted a research project to understand the state and detail of workplace culture in British Columbia, Canada. The outcome of this is the BC Workplace Culture Scan Report, which hits the streets in early Spring. I had the opportunity to hear firsthand from Lorie about the key learnings and a-ha moments in the data gathered. We talk about this, along with our shared passion for people-centric workplaces, in detail in this episode of People at Work. If you’re looking for inspiration to elevate the experience of people in your workplace, give it a listen. About our Guest: Lorie's life purpose is to live WOW and LOVE completely. She's the Co-Founder & Chief Culture Officer at SPARK Creations & Company Inc., a training and development organization that inspires people and companies to create meaningful cultures and workplaces.

When it comes to culture and strategy, there are many schools of thought as to which one comes first. So, where do we start, and why, and how does this relate to managing people? In this episode, I'm joined with workplace culture expert, Lorie Corcuera, to discuss the topic of strategic culture.Support the show (https://peoplemanagingpeople.com/)
Lorie and Matt are at the mic this week to talk all things love, acceptance, and company culture. Lorie is co-founder and CEO of Spark Creations, with a mission to bring more love and compassion into the workplace. Lorie works with teams and individuals to create company cultures that allow humans to feel more loved and included in the workplace. She began her personal journey 10 years ago, which led to her facilitation of women’s retreats. The feedback she received was that the conversation and connections that were happening on the retreats, are needed in the workplace. Lorie left her career, and began her work on bringing love into company culture. Lorie’s heart-beat-inducing project is her book: Love First, The Rest Will Follow. Her hope for the book is that it will leave the reader feeling more connected to their true love, themself. Listen in to hear why it is important to bring your whole self to work and why intention matters. “If people loved and had radical acceptance of who they are and they lived from a place of pure love, they can then share that love with others” Show Links: Keep up with Lorie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/loriecorcuera/ https://www.instagram.com/loriec8/ BC Workplace Culture Scan Report http://sparkcreationsinc.com/culture-report/ DisruptHR YVR https://www.thecorkercollective.com/portfolio_page/disrupt-hr-june-6th/
Kevin Monroe starts the show with two heartwarming messages he received from listeners. These connections and interactions are what this podcast is truly about, he comments. He then introduces this week’s guest, Lorie Corcuera, who is a consultant and speaker, and author of the soon to be released book, Love First, The Rest Will Follow. Live Wow Lorie’s life mission is to “live wow and love completely.” She defines living wow as the intention to create wow experiences, and loving completely as a reminder to love herself and others completely because it’s only when we accept our whole being that we can love others more freely. Kevin responds that ‘wow’ is the perfect response when something happens that grabs your attention and your heart. Love Belongs In The Workplace It all comes down to love, Lorie says. Workplace culture is something that is felt. In a fear-based organization we can’t be our real selves because we don’t feel psychologically safe. Love is what we need, even though the word seems inappropriate in a professional setting. To ease their dissonance with the word love, Lorie asks her clients to think about what they want their customers to say about their products, or their staff to say about the company. Usually, they want customers to say that they love their product, and staff to say that they love working there. She then tells them that if they want customers and staff to love, they need to love as well. Amazing Results Kevin asks Lorie to define love as it relates to the workplace. She responds that when love exists in the workplace, people feel connected, they work well together, they’re fully engaged and excited about making a contribution. In order to achieve this, leadership has to feel the same way. Imagine if every team member feels worthy, valued, seen and cared for, she says. We would be able to create amazing things together. Love By Example Lorie wants people to love by example. We may not all be leaders at work, but we are leaders in our own lives. The best leaders are good with themselves, Lorie comments. Start with embracing and accepting who you are as a person. That will build your confidence to show up as your authentic self. Then you can focus on loving others. Her dream is for a workplace where every person feels love for themselves so that they can love others. That loving energy is shared with customers and team members, and ultimately with their families. “At the end of the day,” Lorie says, “it's all about relationships. Love is the key, because that's the basis of relationships.” Kevin adds that in a fear-based environment you leave work drained and there’s nothing left for your family or community. On the other hand, when you work in a love-filled organization you may be physically tired at the end of the day, but you are not emotionally drained. You can be fully present with your loved ones. Lorie comments that we all want to look back and say we had an amazing life because we were fulfilled in so many ways. It all starts with love. Kevin challenges listeners to love by example: do something every day for the next seven days to lift and encourage others, he says.

See Full Show Notes here: http://growensemble.com/spark-creations-lorie-corcuera/ Nine years ago, Lorie Corcuera co-founded SPARK Creations Inc. after going through a brutal divorce where she struggled to hold on to her identity and sense of self. After revitalizing herself, and defining her own individual values and purpose, she knew she wanted to help others do the same. While she and fellow co-founder Aileen De La Torre started with women’s retreats, their impact grew to a point where they brought their discovery process to organizations to help establish a more sustainable culture that leaves employees feeling more engaged -- not just in the workplace, but in the rest of their lives as well. Lorie is insistent about the concept of life-long learning. She insists against using the word “expert” because while she always wants to share what she has learned, she knows that she is still learning and evolving. This type of open-minded thinking is a major component of why she is so effective at this line of work, and how SPARK has been able to reach almost a decade of impactful work. What does an ideal company culture look like? What are the limiting factors that prevent organizations from getting to that point? How can leaders begin to reflect on their own personal values and belief system more deeply? These are the main questions that drive the thoughtful conversation within this episode.
