Join Sam Goodman (The HOP Nerd LLC) and Becky Ray (Culture Kick) for a dynamic discussion about practical strategies for improving workplace culture.

Drawing on her unique background transitioning from engineering and safety to focusing on people and operational performance (HOP), Sam and Becky explore:

  • Evolving Leadership: Moving beyond outdated styles to embrace empathy, operational intelligence, and truly supporting leaders (especially those "stuck in the middle").
  • Actionable Culture Change: Implementing HOP principles effectively, fostering psychological safety ("speak up"), and breaking down departmental silos (like sales vs. production).
  • Practical Frameworks: Introducing Becky's "Culture Cake" model (Make it Easy, Speak Up, Frustrations into Focus, Learn from Failure, Everyday Learning) and the concept of peer "battle buddies."
  • The Power of "Better": Why focusing on incremental improvement and collaboration over competition is key to meaningful, sustainable change..
