The Exceptional Impact of a Brilliant Culture – Curating High Performance Company Cultures Where High Achievers Thrive

High Achievers outperform the average worker by 14% in productivity, 18% in sales, and 23% in profitability, according to research. However, research shows that 8 out of 10 employees worldwide are not engaged in their work, leaving only 2 of 10 involved in and enthusiastic about what they do. This is a wake-up call for founders and leaders as culture impacts everything from productivity, engagement, and customer loyalty to the speed of innovation, retention of talent, growth, and, of course, profitability. It’s time to reimagine the workplace, starting with a culture where people thrive.

Culture as Your Silver Bullet – Designing and Scaling High Performing Company Cultures as a Founder and Leader

Culturally-driven companies have 18% more revenue per employee than the average. And having a thriving culture is a choice — one that can be made intentionally. As the saying goes, “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” so how do you keep your people and culture on track while doubling or tripling your company every 12 months?

The High Achiever Culture – Strategically Leading, Investing in, and Championing Your High Achievers

High Achievers thrive alongside fellow High Achievers, and they attract each other. They are looking for the freedom to perform and thrive in deep alignment with your company’s vision. However, a lack of leadership capabilities costs U.S. corporations up to $550 billion annually, according to research. In many companies where the 9-to-5 factory model still continues, the mentality that every hour carries the same value is still very persistent. However, most employees no longer work in a factory environment, and it’s been proven that using old models in modern companies leads to old results. It’s time to reimagine the workplace in the age of High Achievers.

The Future of Work and Company Culture

Culturally-driven companies have 18% more revenue per employee than the average. And having a thriving culture is a choice — one that can be made intentionally. As the saying goes, “culture eats strategy for breakfast,” so how do you keep your people and culture on track while doubling or tripling your company every 12 months?

She has impacted 30,000+ cultures and worked with 1,000+ founders, CEOs, and investors, who often refer to her as “Master Teacher,” “Founder Therapist,” and “Yoda.”

Why focus on culture while you are growing so quickly and already have a million things on your plate? Because culture is your silver bullet – the glue that holds everything together. It is a way to align people with shared values to support each other in overcoming challenges and achieving ambitious goals in an efficient and meaningful way. It impacts everything from productivity, engagement, and customer loyalty to talent retention, speed of innovation, growth, and, of course, profitability.

The fact is that if you are not actively investing in your culture, you are at risk of ending up with a mediocre culture or, even worse, a toxic one. By intentionally designing a thriving people and purpose-centric culture, you can successfully scale your company even during hyper-growth.

In this keynote, you will learn how to align your people around your vision, effectively champion your best people, remove toxicity, and amplify your impact by designing and scaling a high performing culture. Through her wisdom, Therese will unveil the magic behind tapping into what a brilliant culture can amplify ensuring your company not only survives but thrives amid rapid expansion and beyond.
