What are the cultural narratives that shape your views and where did they come from?
How does this narrative affect how you and your people behave, operate, and communicate with each other?
The stories and narratives that we tell ourselves have power over how our organizations operate.
We unconsciously do things a certain way simply because, at some point in our lives, someone or some experience made us think it is the only way to do it – even when these narratives are negative! These narratives are what hold your culture back from changing and evolving. They are the boundaries that keep us and our organizations from expanding into the next stage of growth. They are the stories our people tell themselves over and over that keep us collectively from reaching our full potential.
The key thing is to uncover these unspoken assumptions and beliefs so you can start to energize and define a more positive set of assumptions going forward.
Join us for this interactive session where we go through an exercise to uncover what your personal limiting beliefs are and participate in a process to unlearn them. This is the first step into the future that you envision.
About your hosts - Zech Dahms
About your hosts - Zech Dahms
Something you will learn about me is I am quite obsessed with culture. I like to think of myself as a true culture nerd and love to dive into all the diverse aspects around it - What is it, how it forms, how it self-organizes itself, how it shows up within your relationships, within your teams, within your organization.. And all the way to within our communities.
I grew this passion once I started to experience and realize its impact. I saw what toxic cultures can do to projects and organizations. Then I saw what a thriving and energizing culture can do.
Through this reflective observation, I have found one thing to be absolutely true about culture; It can be the ultimate bonding agent that brings people together deeper than anything else, or it can be the ultimate separating force that pushes people away from each other.
I have found it to be such a powerful lifeforce that I have dedicated my craft to support leaders, teams, organizations, and our communities in understanding it and how to nurture it in a way that engages, aligns, and harmonizes our people together to drive greater collective impact & results.
A bit about me and my background - I am a visionary thinker that is guided by questions rather than answers. I have an MBA in organizational design and continue to study culture, organizational effectiveness and design, and social systems change through my MBA, certifications from Bersin Academy, u.lab: Leading From the Emerging Future, and BRATLAB - behavioral research applied technology laboratory.
I am on a lifelong journey of development and learning. Some of my favorite books are... Reinventing Organizations, Designing Regenerative Cultures, System Thinking for Social Change, Maps of Meaning, The Art of Gathering, Firms of Endearment, Start With Why, and many more.
Now I get to share my experiences, learnings, tools, and perspectives to support organizations and communities to cultivate thriving and sustainable cultures and realize their purpose.
I leverage science, cultural psychology, systems thinking, and design thinking tools to guide social systems, cultures, organizations, and teams on a journey to maximize their full potential.
While working with me, you also get access to a network of purpose-driven consultants, designers, researchers, and experts in this space. Our models are designed in a way to support your specific and very complex cultural needs.
Let's talk culture!
