‘Do your own work first, look to contribute and be in service of, keep your energetic field strong and clear, work with your team, and lead.’

‘If you do nothing else- Show Up, take care of yourself, focus on creating positive impact, and practice gratitude.’

‘Treat people well, bring your best self to the table, take excellent care of you, manage your energy, be responsible for your energy, be accountable for what you create… and do it all in service of having big impact, being a contribution to people, and feeling good while doing it. Show Up.’

‘Great results do not excuse toxic impact, especially when you want a culture that thrives.’

‘Creating a healthy culture requires curiosity and vulnerability. Vulnerability requires trust and space. Curiosity creates trust and space.’

‘Reward the failures as well as the wins; acknowledge the initiatives and bravery, give solid honest feedback to build from, help people capture the learning, talk beautifully about them behind their backs, and continue to believe in them.’

‘When you give people the opportunity to turn a complaint into a request or suggestion, you give them their power back.’

‘We pass our energy onto each other without even thinking of it.’

‘True leadership requires consciousness about what you are deciding and why.’

‘Sometimes in order to move forward, you might have to adopt or borrow a belief that serves you for a while so you can gather evidence that it’s true.’

‘When it comes to culture, everyone around you is feeling whether or not you believe in yourself, your people, your organization, your clients, your products ande services.’

How To Create A Positive Workplace Culture

As a leader, you are responsible for creating a positive workplace culture.

Your culture comes from what you care about. If you love people, then create a culture where people are respected.

If you want to see love, then love your people. If you want to see engaged people, then give them something that makes sense to them.

Give them reasons to come to work. If not, you are working alone. Because, according to Shawn Murphy, ‘Relating to human beings is troubling when you choose to not become more self-aware.’

‘A giver seeks to find ways to help people fulfill their needs, understand their wants, and realize their hopes.’

‘Collaboration is the active participation of people working jointly together.’

‘Connection is a relationship between people focused on and held together by evolving shared interests.’

‘Community is a unified group of people with a shared interest.’

‘The climate suffers when employees don’t believe their leader has their back.’

‘To notice what interests your employees isn’t a matter of culture. It’s a leadership choice.’

‘Employees are key partners in the success of the team and ultimately in the organization.’

‘Stewards use meaning to personalize the work experience.’

‘Resilience can be strengthened when a person has a sense of purpose.’
