In this episode of the Culture Chat, Charlie and Jamie chat with Jeff Morgan, CEO of the Club Managers Association of America, and go deep on how he managed the culture change that comes with coming into an organization as a new CEO charged with turning things around. Listen to this great conversation!

In this episode, we welcomed Caroline Miller, author of many books including the forthcoming Getting Grit: The Evidence-Based Approach to Cultivating Passion, Perseverance and Purpose. Her ground-breaking work in the areas of goal setting/accomplishment, grit, happiness and success provides a fascinating topic for discussion around how Grit connects with workplace culture.

In this episode, we talk to David Neff, VP of Consulting for Clearhead, working for Fortune 500 brands and large nonprofits on digital transformation. He is also the founder of Lights. Camera. Help., a nonprofit that helps other causes tell their mission through video, and co-author of the book IGNITE : Setting your Organization’s Culture on Fire with Innovation.  Our big question was "what does it mean for culture to be a living and breathing thing?"

In this episode, we talked to Erin Diehl, founder of Improve It, (www.improveitchicago.com) a corporate team-building workshop company that helps organizations use improvisation to build better, "yes, and" cultures.

How should employers get intentional about making sure their brand - consumer, employer, internal, external - authentically reflects their culture?  That's our big question for this episode's conversation with Tim Padgett, CEO of the Chicago-based marketing agency the Pepper Group. 

The big question we posed Dick Burke, CEO of VisaNow:  “You’re a startup that has grown rapidly.  As you continue to grow and evolve, what got you here, from a culture standpoint, might not get you there.  What are the risks of changing so quickly? How do you hold on to the best parts of your culture and the things that made you successful, while growing and becoming who you need to be in the future?” Join WorkXO in our at-least-monthly podcast!

Millennials are now the largest segment of the workforce--a spot they will hold for decades. Are you aligning your culture with the direction this generation will be leading us? This month’s Culture Chat podcast digs into this topic with IQ Solutions, a company adapting quickly to the needs of their heavily Millennial workforce.
