You can't lead a culture you haven't defined. This episode walks you through a practical three-layer checklist to help you get honest about whether your team culture is defined, communicated, and actually showing up in your practice day to day.

What You’ll Hear:

1. Why clarity is the root issue behind most team culture problems, and what it actually means to define your culture before you try to lead it
2. How to identify your core values not just for your clinical work but for how your practice operates, and why they need to live somewhere other than your head
3. The gap between having a culture defined and having it communicated, and the specific places where that gap turns into resentment
4. Why onboarding is one of your most powerful culture tools and what a culture conversation in that process actually looks like
5. How to look honestly at Layer 3, what you're actually doing, and whether your actions back up what you say your culture is
6. A leadership challenge to help you identify one gap, one action, and one deadline

Meet the Host: Lisa Catallo

Lisa is a Canadian psychotherapist, group practice owner, and business coach with over eight years of experience leading a thriving, values-driven practice. She works with therapists who are ready to step into their role as confident, ethical, and intentional leaders—without burning out or getting buried in the day-to-day.

Lisa’s coaching focuses on building sustainable group practices through efficient systems, effective leadership, and a deep respect for time and energy. Her approach is calm and encouraging, offering grounded guidance that helps therapists move from overwhelm to clarity—so they can lead with confidence and purpose.

Whether she’s supporting someone just starting to grow a team or helping a seasoned leader reclaim their role as CEO, Lisa brings a blend of insight, structure, and heart to everything she does.

When she’s not coaching or connecting with therapists, you’ll find her hanging out with her children and grandchildren, reading, walking by the water, or dreaming up new ways to make business feel a little lighter.
