Culture work that meets you where you are
Work is changing faster than most organizations can adapt. Leaders feel stretched. Teams feel disconnected. And culture starts carrying the strain.
The Culture Shift Studio helps you see what’s happening beneath the surface, unlearn what’s blocking trust and clarity, and build more human, sustainable ways of working.
The process behind every engagement
Our work follows a simple pathway (and we tailor the depth based on your needs):
1) Listen & Diagnose
We listen deeply to your people and identify where energy, trust, and clarity are breaking down.


2) Align & Design
We listen deeply to your people and identify where energy, trust, and clarity are breaking down.
We test small, meaningful shifts, strengthen leadership skills, and evolve culture in real time.
3) Practice & Evolve




Start here: Listen
A fast, grounded conversation to get oriented and choose the next right step.
You’ll leave with:
A clearer picture of what’s happening in your culture right now
A recommendation for where to start in the pathway (Listen & Diagnose, Align & Design, or Practice & Evolve)
90-Minute Culture Shift Session
Phase 1:
Listen & Diagnose
Culture Pulse Sprint (30 Days)
Purpose: Get a clear picture of what’s really happening and where to focus first.
We:
Listen through story circles + surveys
Identify top culture friction points
Assess energy, trust, and clarity
Evaluate readiness for change
Highlight early wins and bright spots
What you receive:
Culture Snapshot Report (strengths, friction points, risk areas)
Readiness Score (Reset, Rebuild, Refine, Reimagine)
Top 1–2 cultural patterns to address first
A summary you can share with the team
Outcome: Clarity about where you are now and why it matters.
Phase 2: Align & Design
Day 1: Culture Vision Lab
Purpose: Align leaders on who you’re becoming and how you want to work.
We explore:
Who you want to become as a culture
Shared expectations and values-in-action
What a thriving culture looks and feels like
What needs to shift to get there
What you receive:
Culture Vision Canvas
Values → Behaviors Map
Alignment summary you can use with your wider team
Outcome: A shared north star that’s actually usable
Purpose: Turn the vision into practical, doable ways of working.
We co-create:
Meeting norms
Decision-making clarity
Communication pathways
Leadership expectations
Ways to support pacing, wellbeing, and teamwork
2–3 focus areas for the next 90 days
What you receive:
Culture Playbook (Draft) (behaviors, norms, ways of working)
90-Day Culture Plan (owners, milestones, success signals)
Shift Hypothesis Statements (“If we try X, we should see Y”)
Outcome: A practical, energizing plan your team believes in.
Day 2: Culture Design Lab
Phase 3: Practice & Evolve
Culture Evolution Cycle (6 Week Cycles)
Purpose: Make culture change real through practice.
You can run one cycle or stack them for 3–6 months depending on goals and readiness.
Option A: Leadership Labs
Leaders build emotional intelligence, clarity skills, boundaries, and shared ownership.
Option B: Unlearning Labs
Teams unlearn outdated patterns that no longer serve them or the organization.
Option C: Culture Co-Lab + Sprints
Teams test small shifts that make work feel easier, clearer, or more connected.
What you receive (each cycle):
Culture Sprint Canvas
Experiment Cards
Culture Scorecard Snapshot
Next-sprint recommendations
Outcome: Visible momentum and real behavior change.
Our sprint arc moves from:
Foundations (Seeing the Patterns) → Alignment (Reclaiming Agency) → Experimentation (Practicing New Patterns) → Integration (From Practice to Culture).
Sample experiments we often run:
Redesign a recurring decision process using “consent not consensus” or an “advice process”
Pilot “rapid reflection rounds” after key meetings to normalize learning (not perfection)
Build peer connection through mentoring or “appreciation Fridays”
Test a weekly 90-minute culture huddle with open check-ins
What a 6-week cycle looks like
Sustain What's Working
Every quarter, we zoom out and assess what’s shifting, where new friction is emerging, how well new habits are sticking, and where to focus next.
What you receive:
Quarterly Culture Review Report
Updated scorecard
Recommended next 2–3 experiments
Outcome: Progress that keeps moving, without burnout.
What changes in the first 90 days
Before, leaders often feel: unsure what’s really going on, quiet tension, overwhelmed priorities, unsure where to start, stretched thin or carrying the culture alone.
After the first 90 days, leaders consistently feel: clear about what’s happening and why, equipped with shared language, more connected and aligned, energized by a realistic path forward, confident about what to prioritize next.
You go from uncertainty → clarity, and from quiet tension → shared understanding.
