Ep. 54 How Culture, Productivity, and Joy Go Hand In Hand With Moe Carrick

“That’s how we do things here.” Sometimes that’s used as an excuse…at least in my experience! But at it’s best, it’s a wonderful definition of culture. Moe Carrick, workplace culture expert, defines the sometimes squishy term “culture” with “that’s how we do things here.” I love that definition for a few reasons. 1 - It implies that if ignored culture will still be there 2- It means you have to live out your values in order to influence the culture.   In this conversation we dove deep into the power of being seen by a strong leader, the reward an organization will have when intentionally building a culture and the way joy can show up in the workplace. (spoiler: it’s increased productivity and engagement)   Moe shared some warning signs for what will happen when culture is ignored and helped us understand that. Although we’re two Enneagram Sevens, we’re both aware that work will not always be sunshine and rainbows. If you’re a leader trying to build a postive culture, I invite you to join us to talk through what that REALLY means and how we can move the needle toward a workplace filled with Joyosity.   Here’s what we talked about: 04:50 How Moe overcame big challenges young 07:50 Interpreting the experiences that shape you 08:44 The power of being seen 11:23 Defining culture 16:08 What does employee engagement mean? 20:30 The consequence of not paying attention to culture 24:35 Productivity and joy   Links/ Resources: Connect With Moe on LinkedIn here, or visit her website here.
