CULTURE CRUSH RX with PEAK FLEET Co-founders Jen Coyne and Brian Stinson

In this episode of Culture Crush Rx, Host Deb Caron talks with Jen Coyne and Brian Stinson, co-founders of The PEAK Fleet. PEAK = Persistence, Empathy, Authenticity, Kindness: the foundational values of their company. The PEAK Fleet helps organizations succeed by creating an engaged workforce that thrives together. The conversation dives into how establishing clarity around your purpose and values is at the core of creating a culture where authenticity thrives.

The PEAK Fleet provides expertise to inspire and enable organizations to accelerate achievement of goals, reach higher levels of profitability, and customer and employee satisfaction by focusing on engaging authentic and energized employees. Unlike traditional and large consulting companies and individuals, we bring a non-traditional, culturally fresh perspective and learning approach that creates better attachment, demands action and drives results. Our diverse set of experts provide workshops, speeches, strategy development, leadership events, and deep strategy-to-action consulting engagements across the following areas of expertise:

Employee Experience
Organizational Culture & The Future of Work
Creating Collaborative Teams
Leadership Development
Risk Taking & Possibility Thinking
Cultivating Inclusion

We emphasize that results aren’t achieved through talk and training alone, but through a persistent pursuit of taking strategy to action for achieving real and lasting results. We believe that lasting results are gained through genuine connection with employee and customer needs. We embrace and encourage Empathy, Authenticity, and Kindness in the work that we do.

The video mentioned in the podcast is Aria for a Cow. The backstory, information about the keynote speech and the director Dan Lund can be found here.

Over 20 years working in high tech and information technology, Jen developed a highly successful track record of developing high performing, diverse teams with an engaged and committed workforce. Her experiences included Chief of Staff for Intel’s 6000 person IT organization, Director of IT User Experience, and Supply Chain product management. She also played a key role in promoting diversity and retention as the co-leader of the Women at Intel Network. Her experience in developing and delivering Organizational and Leadership training and development spans two decades, which she now leverages to create the unique, provocative, and thought-leading products and services for The PEAK Fleet.

Brian Stinson, Co-Founder, The PEAK Fleet is a father, engineer, and athlete with more than 20 years building high performing teams and driving culture change. Early on, at the University of Washington, Brian discovered Industrial Engineering and realized that “People Engineering” was in his DNA. During his 21 years at Intel Corporation, he learned to combine the science of data and analytics with the power of empathy and authentic relationships to solve real world business problems. Brian developed and led effective and engaged teams across multiple organizations.

More recently, Brian was responsible for the Workforce Strategy for Intel’s 6000-person worldwide IT organization. Through his career, he has grown a strong capacity as a skilled and adaptable facilitator. A moment of clarity occurred for Brian when he realized all of these experiences were staging him to focus the balance of his career on Organizational Development.
