25. Leading Culture

I’m so glad you’ve joined me—because in today’s episode, we’re getting real about a truth that shapes every team, every workplace, and every leader’s legacy:

Culture isn’t built in workshops. It’s built in what you tolerate.

Too often, leaders assume that culture lives in vision statements or training programs—but the real culture is forged in the micro-moments: the silences, the sidelines, and the standards we quietly accept. Whether we realise it or not, we are shaping culture every day—through what we reinforce, what we reward, and what we walk past.

🎯 In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• What culture actually is (hint: it’s not your values poster)
• Why your behaviour as a leader speaks louder than any strategy document
• How the workshop myth is misleading our efforts to lead meaningful change
• Everyday scenarios where culture is quietly being shaped (or eroded)
• Power Skills to help you set new standards and lead with intention

Whether you lead a team, influence others informally, or are just beginning to realise the power of your presence—you’ll walk away from this episode with new insight and practical tools to build a culture worth belonging to.
