EP #289 How to Change Your Company Culture in 2026

Jan 15

We’re stepping into 2026 and it’s time to talk about real change.

Resolutions come and go, but growth that lasts comes from building a consistent, generous culture at work. Forget starting over every January. Let’s focus on the habits and systems that make people feel valued, productive, and excited to contribute.

I break down how simple acts of generosity can shift your workplace from competitive to collaborative and from results-driven to purpose-driven. When one person feels joyful and confident in their work, it spreads through the entire team. That’s how positive culture takes root.

You’ll also hear how to focus on daily actions instead of lucky breaks, why humble leadership matters more than flashy performance, and how giving people what they need fuels trust and success. It’s not about titles or rewards. It’s about people. If you want your organization to grow and feel stronger this year, this episode will show you how to make it happen.
