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)

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

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.

Our Services

What can we do for you?

What’s happening beneath the surface?
How will this take root and thrive over time?
Where do you want to go, and how will you get there?

Together, we co-create values-aligned strategies, participatory roadmaps, and story-driven workshops that move teams from insight to intention.

We begin with listening through cultural snapshots, organizational health audits, and facilitated insight labs. These help reveal unseen patterns, misalignments, and signals for change.

We support implementation through leadership labs, coaching, peer networks, and emotional intelligence workshops that turn big ideas into lived realities.
