Are you hiring? Is a team working on a new product? Are you imagining new organization-wide events? Perhaps you're trying to finalize a set of institutional values. Be aware before you interview, design, or evaluate!

Intentionally designed learning experiences develop a shared lexicon and values. People proactively begin to hold one another accountable. Cultural shift work is powerful and transformative when it's led with expertise and a long-term vision!
