In this episode, I sit down with leadership coach and author Jenni Catron to unpack Culture Matters: A Framework for Helping Your Team Grow, Thrive, and Be Unstoppable.
We explore why culture must be built by design rather than left to default, how leaders can honestly assess their current culture, and practical ways to turn values from words on a wall into lived behaviors.
Jenni walks through her five-phase framework—Assess, Define, Build, Equip, Commit—and shares actionable tools (Values Grid, Employee Journey Grid) to embed culture into daily rhythms.
Whether you lead a nonprofit, church, or business, this conversation helps you clarify, reinforce, and sustain a healthy culture.
Key Takeaways
• You already have a culture—ask: Is it the one you want?
• Early teams may “catch” culture by proximity, but growth requires intentional definition and design.
• Leadership leakage is real: what leaders do shapes culture more than what they say.
• Think patience and persistence, culture is a slow build that becomes momentum.
