Workshop Description

This engaging and practical workshop explores how organizational culture influences every decision, relationship, and behavior within a nonprofit. Through storytelling and real-life examples, participants will reflect on how personal histories, unspoken norms, and unchecked behaviors shape culture more than stated values. The session will help participants identify how culture is expressed through everyday actions and interactions. Attendees will examine how these cultural behaviors impact trust, inclusion, and overall organizational effectiveness. Using a reflective framework, they will analyze their current cultural practices to uncover strengths, gaps, and misalignments. Participants will leave with strategies to intentionally shape culture in order to build greater trust, accountability, and alignment within their teams.
