Growing Culture and Consciousness Has No Finishline E24

This conversion of culture and conscious business was so fluid that you would have thought that Kindra and her two guests, Adam and Thomas, had known each other and talked for years.

This was the first time we have done a live stream where the guests could listen and post questions on the Culture Crush Business Podcast- and it was awesome! Thank you to all of the listeners that chimed in and posted questions in the chat. Thank you to Phoenix Business RadioX and Conscious Capitalism Arizona Chapter for sharing it out. They were great questions that we went over toward the end of the show.

This conversation dove into many stories and examples of the actions and importance for growing a conscious business- even if it seems a little backwards sometimes. For example, Adam discussed how Goodmans Interior Structures no longer requires their office staff to come into the office to work. This might seem a little backwards for a company that builds and sells office furniture. Instead, they are assessing and redesigning the office into a place where employees want to come into the office. They took into consideration what the employees said and wanted and are putting it into action. This conscious business move will help grow and support the needs of the employees, and therefore the overall culture of the company.

This conversation is a great one to listen to if you are a leader trying to improve your company culture and wanting to learn more about conscious capitalism and how it can help influence and support the change you are trying to make in your company. According to Thomas, “Consciousness has no finish line” which means we can always learn and add to our growth and our tool box.

When it comes to helping companies grow in conscious ways, Thomas is the man for the job. He has supported the growth of various Conscious Capitalism chapters as well as helped over 800 leaders in his program on developing their conscious journey. He gives away a few of these tips in the podcast conversation with Adam as well.

Thank you to our sponsor, the Conscious Capitalism Arizona Chapter, for seeing the value in this conversation of conscious capitalism, culture, and these two amazing gentlemen.

About Culture Crush

Culture is not just a tag word to be thrown around. It is not something you throw in job descriptions to draw people to applying for jobs within a company.

According to Marcus Buckingham and Ashely Goodall in their book Nine Lies About Work, “Culture is the tenants of how we behave. It’s like a family creed. This is how we operate and treat each other in the family.”

As a growing company- Culture Crush Business Podcast is THE culture improvement resource that supports companies and leaders. Our Mission is to improve company cultures so people WANT to go to work. Employees and leaders should like where they work and we think this is possible.

Within the company: Culture Crush has Vetted Resources and Partnerships with the right people and resources that can help improve your company culture.

On this podcast: We focus on everything surrounding businesses with good company culture. We will talk with company leaders to learn about real-life experiences, tips, and best practices for creating a healthy work environment where employees are finding joy and satisfaction in their work while also striving and growing within the company. We also find the companies that offer resources to help improve company culture and showcase them on the show to share their tips and tricks for growing culture.

Free enterprise capitalism has served to lift more people out of poverty than any other socio-economic system ever conceived – empowering social cooperation, human progress, and elevating humanity.

Good business is the answer to many of the global issues that humankind is facing.

For too long, capitalism in the media has been associated with lying, cheating, manipulating, gaming the system, and taking advantage of society.

But for every horror story being told about the selfishness of corporate America and Wall Street, there are thousands of stories of businesses supporting their communities, investing in their employees, and making the world a better place.

We are working to change the capitalism narrative by shining a bright light on good business – telling the stories of conscious Arizona companies (and encouraging others to follow in their footsteps).

There is a lot in her background that has led Kindra Maples to where she is today.

Her past experiences, interactions, careers, and partnerships have led her to growing the roles she holds in the community; the VP of Volunteers with Conscious Capitalism Arizona, Sales Development with YellowBird, and the host of the Culture Crush Business Podcast.

She is spartan racer, past animal trainer, previous magician’s assistant, and has a weakness for Oreo cookie shakes. Her journey working with people actually started working with animals as a teenager (don’t worry we won’t go that far back for her bio).

Her experience in non-profit operations, communications, and program engagement has brought her to the place she is today. Her experiences have built her passion and her “why” in areas of culture building, engagement, and growing strong teams.

Growing Culture Through Music – Brian Mohr E9

When it comes to finding the right guests to bring on to the People and Profit Podcast, our team always has our eyes open for great company leaders that align with Conscious Capitalism and the four tenants. This month we did not have to look very far to find a well-known leader in the Conscious Capitalism network here within the Arizona community as well as the Conscious Capitalism International Team.

Brian Mohr jumped on the Conscious Capitalism bandwagon back before 2015 when he found “his people.” As many others, Brian stumbled upon the Conscious Capitalism movement and knew he had to be part of the tribe. He has been on the board for Conscious Capitalism International and currently sits on the board locally for the Arizona Chapter as well. Not only has he been part of Conscious Capitalism in that facet but also in his past and present company leadership roles that he has held. From growing the very culture focused company Y-scouts, to his new and very culture focused company anthym.

anthym is an interactive, personal storytelling platform leveraging the power of music to catalog some of the most meaningful and pivotal moments and memories in our lives.

It’s becoming clear that the future of work will be embracing an increase in work-from-anywhere and remote work scenarios, which presents a whole new set of challenges for teams and companies. anthym is focusing on bringing the team members together and allowing them to connect on a deeper level. We know WHAT people do but this program allows the team members to truly learn about WHO the people are that they work with.

This podcast dives into the tenant of company culture, why it is important, the need to improve it, and how anthym can improve it. This is a great podcast to listen to if you have read about conscious capitalism and you think that these people align with you. Listen in to fund your tribe just like Brian did.

#companyculture #new #teambuilding #consciouscapitalism #growth #teams #ccaz #podcast

Building cohesive remote teams and culture is incredibly difficult – anthym is here to make it easier. At its core, anthym is a personal storytelling platform that helps you reflect on and catalog some of your most meaningful and important life moments by leveraging the power of cultural touchstones like music, movies, books, and TV shows, which results in your personal anthym profile.

Together with your teammates, the anthym experience is brought to life by a facilitated virtual onboarding where you and your teammates share stories with one another and create powerful, authentic connections. After the onboarding experience, the anthym platform allows for continuous team connection and helps promote connection, inclusion, belonging and trust.

Brian Mohr’s career is a learning-based journey with an intense focus on people, purpose, values, culture, and leadership. Brian has had amazing entrepreneurial and leadership experiences at Jobing.com, P.F. Chang’s China Bistro, Y Scouts and Conscious Capitalism Arizona. Today, Brian is channeling his experiences and energy into helping organizations build cohesive teams in the rapidly accelerating virtual workplace through his new company, Anthym.

Brian is on the national Board of Directors of Conscious Capitalism, Inc., he is a Board member and President Emeritus of the Arizona Chapter of Conscious Capitalism, a member of the Board of Directors of the Better Business Bureau of the Pacific Southwest, a TEDx speaker, and the co-author of “Hiring on Purpose – How the Y Scouts Method is Revolutionizing the Search for Leaders”.

Brian’s most important and cherished responsibilities are being the lucky father to his 2 daughters, Taylor and Riley, and the proud husband to his wife, Jackie. In his spare time, you’ll find Brian practicing guitar and catching a live music concert every chance he can get.

Connect with Brian on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Grit and Grace with Laura and Jodi E5

Laura and Jodi were a perfect match for the conversation about creating a conscious business where they are supporting the community, making profit, and keeping in consideration the four tenants of Conscious Capitalism. Both women took a step to create a business that they could grow, and that they continue to grow through the pandemic.

Jodi, a local member of the Conscious Capitalism Arizona Chapter, highlights how she has grown her conscious business that empowers both adults and teens to create stronger personal and professional lives. Laura was able to join from San Diego to highlight her company WHYZ Partners and how they have been able to successfully navigate purpose and profit. We were able to dive into the purpose behind her new book The ABC’s of Conscious Capitalism for Kids and how it aligns well with the teen program that Jodi leads.

Grit and Grace is how they do it. When it comes to success, they are measuring what matters, taking the first step even if it is difficult, continuing to be authentic, and elevating humanity daily.

Not only was this a great conversation full of motivational takeaways, but we may have just found a perfect match for future collaboration. Although, we are in the middle of a pandemic and having to do all Conscious Capitalism Arizona events virtually, there is one thing that we are still able to do and that is make connections.

We hope folks listen in and take away some motivational thoughts about taking chances, being authentic, and remembering all of your stakeholders to grow. The takeaway from the show and from this entire pandemic- continue to have grit and grace.

WHYZ Partners is a retail consumer goods consultancy that offers retailers and brands a roadmap for how to successfully navigate purpose and profit in a 21st century ‘new abnormal’ consumer goods ecosystem.

The female founders utilize a high-touch approach of IQ/EQ/LQ that leverages their extensive experience in brand strategy and development, product development, omnichannel execution and operational excellence.

WHYZ believes in a triple bottom line business model, but knows that unless their clients are profitable, they cannot help people or the planet!

Laura Hall is a global business leader in the fashion and consumer goods industry. She left her last corporate role as president of accessories for Polo Ralph Lauren to join forces with two other female C-Suite executives to create WHYZ Partners.

Laura has been called a ‘collaborative co-conspirator’ by her clients and her peers – a descriptor she proudly accepts. And most recently, Laura is the author of a new children’s book The ABCs of Conscious Capitalism for KIDs – because Laura believes that “it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men”…as Frederick Douglass said over a century ago.

U & Improved is an award-winning leadership development company that empowers people to create the personal and professional lives that they envision and deserve!

Her series of interactive, performance-based classes at U & Improved take leadership development to new heights using a sustainable and actionable model that is personal, challenging and meaningful to each attendee. Classes cover a variety of important workplace topics including communication, confidence-building, goal-setting, team collaboration, integrity and leadership.

The curriculum is adaptable and can include anything from a one-day workshop or corporate speaking engagement to their series of four award winning classes – each two-and-a-half day experiential leadership development courses – that focus on leadership, communication, team building and trust. Graduates are empowered with the knowledge, tools and awareness to immediately be more effective and responsive leaders at work, at home and within their communities.

In addition to helping Fortune 100 leaders, entrepreneurs and their teams see measurable success, Jodi also launched a teen leadership program, called U the Teen Leader, in 2014 to empower young adults to become more confident, motivated and focused future leaders. And in 2016, she founded a non-profit arm of the company—the U & Improved Leadership Foundation—which makes the program more accessible to deserving teens by offering partial and full scholarships to the U The Teen Leader class offered at U & Improved.

Chris Helin, Vice President Lovitt & Touche

Chris has been an Employee Benefits Consultant for almost 29 years with Lovitt & Touché, now a Marsh McClennan Agency. She works with CEO’s CFO’s and Executive Human Resource Professionals to drive the development of long-term strategic direction for their Employee Benefit Plans. As a partner with these entities, she also works to preserve and promote the culture of the organization.

Chris believes that any long-term cost goals for the Employee Benefits Program should incorporate the business strategies, be concerned with attracting and retaining quality employees, incorporate wellness, and include cutting edge cost control strategies. Doing so will optimize the potential for their employee benefits program to contribute to the organizational culture in a positive way. She sees often that the top-level message to employees about their Employee Benefits will either reinforce or work against the employee value proposition, and should be carefully crafted.
