In this episode of the 'Doing What Matters' podcast, we discuss the importance of creating and sustaining culture in various settings. The conversation was inspired by an email Teresa received about the intentional development of workplace culture. They emphasize that culture is not absorbed by osmosis but is taught and cultivated through language and values. By sharing personal experiences and strategies, we explore how culture shapes environments at home, at work, and within teams. We'll underscore the importance of using consistent language, establishing team guidelines, and having clear values to promote alignment and confidence. Practical advice includes creating dedicated work times, setting clear communication channels, and honoring personal and team rhythms. We also invite our listeners to an upcoming free webinar aimed at helping coaches grow their businesses with confidence.TIME STAMP:00:00 Introduction and Email Story01:09 Welcome to the Podcast01:54 The Importance of Culture02:52 Creating Culture at Home04:20 Personal Stories and Reflections12:37 Culture in the Workplace21:26 Team Guidelines and Communication30:53 Conclusion and Upcoming WebinarFREE Webinar Link:http://www.therealifeprocess.com/webinarFREE RESOURCES:Take the FREE Intro to Needs & Values AssessmentReady to discover what uniquely matters to YOU?
