To create an EMPOWERING TEAM CULTURE, you need to walk the talk. We often hear this phrase, but do we truly understand how to embed it into our culture? There are several key principles that need to be in place to make this a reality. At Nuun Hydration, we took a significant step by granting all employees stock options, effectively making everyone an "owner of the company." To this day, it remains one of the achievements I'm proudest of in our journey to build the best workplace environment possible. So, how exactly do you foster an ecosystem of empowerment? That's precisely what we dive into in the latest episode of the C.E.O. podcast featuring Seth Goldman, the CEO | Founder of Eat the Change, and Founder of Honest Tea.

Our first episode discussing your 'Culture Questions' is out today on the Inside Out Culture Podcast! Colin Ellis and I started the podcast in order to help leaders, managers and colleagues feel more comfortable and competent about contributing positively to our places of work and noticing the impact that we each have in shaping the experience we all have at work. We also wanted to help others interested in learning more about or simply reflecting on culture as a topic that's often not given much space in our electronic calendars and office rhythm - so it's 30 mins each week to sit back and really reflect on how things are done in your workplace, and how you can shape that for the better. You gave us some tough questions around culture and issues of: - hiring and recruiting - banter - intergenerational connections - metrics, and many more! Have a listen and let us know your thoughts, any strategies you've used that work and subscribe to the podcast. Link in the comments below! Lastly, don't forget to let us know your questions about culture for our next culture questions episode next month - you can add them either in the comments or email us at insideoutculture@gmail.com. #culturematters #leaders #learning #shaping #noticing #understanding #culturechange #impact #experience #conversationsonculture #insideoutculture
