In this Legal Tuesday episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Nicole Kosoff, culture leader at a prominent Los Angeles law firm, about how intentional, values-based culture can be a firm's greatest tool for retention, productivity, and engagement. Nicole defines culture as the unique personality of a firm shaped by its values—and emphasizes that the most impactful cultural shifts often come at little or no financial cost. She shares examples such as using inclusive language (“works with” instead of “works for”), celebrating personal milestones like birthdays and baby showers, and hosting family-inclusive events that humanize relationships across the firm. Nicole outlines how cultivating culture starts with small gestures that make people feel seen, valued, and connected—whether it's remembering names, following up on hobbies, or inviting input through surveys and conversations. She explains that culture-building should align with firm values and be supported by leadership but executed through consistent, people-first actions. This episode offers a practical roadmap for law firm leaders who want to create workplaces where people genuinely want to stay—and thrive.

Hello leader, welcome back to episode 190 of the Fierce Factor podcast.  It's your host Kaeli here bringing you an incredible gift of two inspiring and intentional business leaders in this podcast.  Today I am interviewing Katie Speaks and Delaney Poor, Co-founder and Intraprenuer of Beyond Skin Aesthetics based out of Gahanna, Ohio. So a little back story I'll share, I happened to be sitting at the same table as them at a conference this year and the whole table was having conversations about disgruntled employees who were becoming entitled and competitive over the commissions they were earning as providers for sales goals.  And it was this totally unanimous tone that these employees were difficult to work with because they were so focused on earning potential.  And I was thinking to myself “the irony”.  Hire people, show them that the path to success is to be hungry to “sell” and then feel resentful that they are doing their job and expecting what was promised to them. And from across the table these ladies spoke up and addressed the huge elephant in the room confidently saying that “the problem is less about the employee and more about the culture that the business owner had designed by incentivizing through commissions”.  I was so intrigued by this confident statement that I began to ask them about their business, what success looks like for them, what motivates employees without commissionable earning potential, and how do they build culture in their practice AND hit their sales goals. Well, that conversation was so enlightening that I asked them to come and share with all of you here on the Fierce Factor. In this episode you will hear some game changing pearls that synthesize the entire philosophy of a life-first business, not just for its owners but for its employees.  You will hear what an inside-out growth framework looks like, how the hiring and onboarding process is crucial to the long term success of an employee, and my personal favorite part of this interview- the raw perspective of the daughter of a serial business owner who lived the life as the daughter of a very busy working mom. I just loved this interview with Katie and Delaney and can't wait for you to take this masterclass on building a thriving culture. Enjoy!

When companies put the customer at the heart of their business and empower employees to improve the customer experience, they form stronger relationships with satisfied customers.Marcus Swalwell and Tom Wedge worked together at a large optometry firm, owned by Novartis. They transformed the company by putting customers at the heart of the business, using a variety of methods from forming a virtual board of directors made up of customers, to encouraging employees to work in customers' shops so they could see the business from their perspective.By implementing these practices, they improved their customer relationships and become the supplier that customers most wanted to do business with.Takeaways from Pia and Dan Customer focus can galvanise an organisation from the outside in. Involving everyone in crafting the vision can lead to a real sense of ownership and accountability. Metrics can drive employees to achieve customer-centric goals. A culture of positivity and customer centricity can improve climate. Personal development can help create a common language and mindset without requiring excessive funding. Employees are often let down by the conditions behind them, rather than their own competence.

In this episode, Darren Reinke chats with Phil Dana, Head of Human Resources at Dendreon. Phil shares how the lessons he learned in the military and in construction have benefited him in his HR career, the importance of cultivating purpose within your team and organization, and why he intentionally surrounds himself with those smarter than him. Dendreon is a commercial-stage biopharmaceutical company and pioneer in the development of immunotherapy. Dendreon's flagship product, PROVENGE, was the first FDA-approved immunotherapy made from a patient's own immune cells. More than 40,000 men with advanced prostate cancer have been prescribed PROVENGE in the U.S. since 2010.  Show Notes:How Phil Ventured from the Navy Into Human Resources [1:06]How the Perception of HR Has Evolved Over Time [4:01]Why People and Culture Are Having Major Implications on Business Strategy [6:39]How Phil Creates a Thriving Culture in a Less Structured Environment [8:07]Why Creating an Authentic True North Serves as an Anchor for Your Company [10:38]The Key Steps Phil Takes to Create Individualized Purpose Within His Team [12:49]How You Can Create Your Own Sense of Purpose Regardless of Occupation [17:18]Why You Should Instill the Mindset of Lifelong Learning Within Your Team [20:19]Why Phil Enjoys Being the Dumbest Guy in the Room [22:53]The Crucial Skillsets Phil Looks for Before Making a Hiring Decision [26:32]How Phil Evaluates Peoples' Team Ability and the Importance of Hard Work [30:07] Links:Phil's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/militarytalent/Dendreon's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dendreon/

This episode has taken weeks of prep on my end to make sure that I could fully share skills I have developed personally to develop a strong, safe work environment at work. Again we come back to the face that "I create the culture in my work place". In this episode I share what I personally have overcome to feel ready and comfortable in a leadership position, ways I strive to continue to learn and grow and develop outside of work as well as important values we have as a staff that can be implemented in ALL leadership roles. I also reference several books and resources I love to learn and study from: https://daretolead.brenebrown.com Dare to Lead Podcast with Brene Brown on Spotify Dare To Lead, Brene Brown: https://amzn.to/2UcRx2w  Daring Greatly, Brene Brown: https://amzn.to/3xJms5f  Start with Why, Simon Sinek: https://amzn.to/3kmHIK9  Leaders Eat Last, Simon Sinek: https://amzn.to/2TeUpf1    Follow me on instagram for more! @andimaree
