No More Fake Smiles: How to Create a Happy, Healthy Business Culture
For years, we’ve been told that everything is going to be okay. If we just dig deep, get scrappy, and try a little harder, then all of our collective work problems will disappear. How’s that working out?
Spoiler alert: It isn’t. Because we’re facing some pretty tough circumstances—systemic problems that are deeply rooted in harmful behaviors and beliefs. We all want to think that it can get better if we just try our best, but reality is a bit more complicated than that.
In this talk, we’ll look at both humorous and not-so-humorous examples of workplace culture gone wrong. Then, we’ll talk about the three things people need to feel in order to have a change to be happy at work: safe, respected, and valued. Finally, we’ll talk about the practical steps all leaders can actually do to build a truly positive workplace culture.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the real dangers of toxic workplace culture (internal and external).
- Learn how to stop wasting resources on culture initiatives that don't work.
- Prepare to lead in a new era with sky-high expectations and no roadmap.
