Let’s talk about Workplace Culture: A 3-part conversation series

Building a culture where people can do their best work is something most leaders genuinely strive for. And yet, even with the best intentions, this endeavour remains one of the hardest things to get right.

Evidence shows that a healthy workplace culture is built on more than messaging and good intentions. The norms, underlying assumptions, systems, and structures within organizations shape whether stated values are actually lived out in practice. Interestingly, it is not uncommon for leaders and their teams to see their cultures differently.

What gets in the way of experiencing a shared culture where everyone feels a sense of ownership and belonging? What factors contribute to a healthy workplace culture? And how do we actually live it out?

We will explore these questions together in this series. Please note that this is not a training; it is a facilitated conversation grounded in honest reflection and practical insights from the Courage to Lead and organizational behaviour and culture literature.

🌟In this series, we are also excited to welcome Deanne Gagnon. Deanne is a workplace culture consultant, facilitator, and speaker who helps teams build trust, improve communication, and work better together—especially in the messy middle of real work. With a strong focus on leadership development and team dynamics, Deanne brings a practical, human approach to workplace culture that goes beyond buzzwords and theory. Her sessions are known for being engaging, relatable, and grounded in real-world workplace challenges.

Deanne also previously participated in the Courage to Lead program and has shared with us that her consultancy was partly inspired by her involvement with ICA. We’re incredibly honoured to be collaborating with Deanne in this capacity.
