CoCreate Work

What is culture really costing your organization? At Monday’s Summit, our Managing Partner, Chloe Andersen, led a live culture cost calculation—and the numbers hit hard. ?? One participant uncovered a culture cost of over $1 million. Their top challenge? Communication. Others cited: ? Decision-making ? Trust ? Burnout ? Disengaged teams These issues don’t just hurt morale—they drain resources. But here’s the truth: ?? If you can measure it, you can change it. That’s exactly what we empower leaders to do in our Culture Certification Course—a 14-week, hands-on transformation journey where you’ll: ? Diagnose culture costs with clarity ? Use systems thinking to drive solutions ? Align your team with purpose-built mission statements ? Forge strong, clear working agreements ? And lead change that sticks ?? Culture is not soft. It’s measurable. It’s actionable. And it’s your competitive edge. ?? Ready to lead with impact? Join the next cohort of our Culture Certification.

?? MONDAY CULTURE SUMMIT RECAP ?? Still buzzing from this week’s Summit on Building the Future of Work Now, where we emphasized that Culture is the Strategy—and if you were there, you know exactly why. We kicked off by asking participants to share the principles of cocreation they already live by. What emerged was a powerful foundation for the day: ? “Radical inclusion” ? “Culture is strategy” ? “Collective leadership” ? “Beyond thought leadership” We uncovered some hard truths during our session on the cost of culture. One participant emphasized communication, while others called out the impact of poor culture on decision-making, ownership, and trust. Another participant reminded us: ??? “We need to be brave enough to let things be awkward if we don't know better—to allow us to do better.” And powerful questions were asked: ?? “How long can it take to change culture in a toxic organization?” ?? “Any advice on addressing skepticism about culture metrics?” Our response? It unfolds. Culture change starts with shared language, clear purpose, and working agreements—even at the micro level. You don’t need to wait for permission to start. ??Want to go deeper? Our Culture Certification is where we train you to lead this work—with the mindset, tools, and systems to make culture strategy real. ??

Culture is strategy—lead it. We have important work to do, and it’s going to require everyone. Culture isn’t just an HR issue. It’s not a checkbox. It’s the foundation of every thriving, high-performing organization. Yet too often, the people doing the work—HR pros, DEI leaders, business consultants, culture strategists—aren’t given the authority, resources, or recognition to lead real change. Shouldn’t that change? ?? The CoCreate Work Culture Summit is a call to action. A blueprint for transformation. A space for bold leaders to step into their power and shape the future of work—together. What’s at stake? Career growth. Organizational impact. The next era of leadership. ?? The future of work isn’t coming—it’s here. Are you ready to lead it? ?? Register now—link in comments! #CultureSummit #LeadTheChange #CultureLeadership #FutureOfWork #WorkplaceInnovation

Culture isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the backbone of business success. And yet, too many leaders who care about culture feel stuck when it comes to making real change. Maybe you see the cracks in your organization but don’t know how to get buy-in. Maybe you’re driving culture initiatives, but the systems in place are working against you. Maybe you’re tired of surface-level conversations and ready to lead transformation that actually matters. If that’s you, The CoCreate Work Culture Summit is where you step up. This 3-hour live event is built for leaders who want to move from frustration to influence—giving you the clarity, confidence, and strategy to create real impact. What you’ll walk away with: ? The 5 signs your company needs culture change—and how to respond ? How to build buy-in and position yourself as the go-to culture expert ? The game-changing power of systems thinking in culture work ? Stories from leaders who put culture first—and what actually worked This isn’t another theoretical conversation. It’s your launchpad to becoming a culture leader who gets paid, recognized, and heard. ?? Don’t wait for permission. Lead the change now. ?? Register now—link in comments!

Handling conflict isn’t easy, but the right approach changes everything. Conflict in the workplace isn’t a sign of dysfunction—it’s a sign that people care. But how leaders handle it makes all the difference. Avoiding conflict only allows tensions to fester, creating a toxic environment. Leaning into it with curiosity, structure, and a growth mindset can strengthen trust, alignment, and even innovation. Here are three ways leaders can navigate conflict effectively: ?? Embrace Conflict with Curiosity Instead of jumping to conclusions, ask: What perspectives might I be missing? or What outcome would feel successful for everyone involved? This ensures clarity, accountability, and trust. ?? Reframe Conflict as Growth Tension often signals areas for improvement—gaps in communication, misaligned priorities, or deeper cultural issues. Shift the mindset from blame to progress by asking: What insights can we gain from this? ?? Provide Structure for Resolution Set clear expectations on how disagreements should be raised and resolved. Establishing feedback loops, mediation processes, and working agreements signals that conflict is natural and can be productive. When leaders model healthy conflict resolution, they build a culture where people feel safe to speak up, collaborate, and innovate—even in moments of tension. How do you approach conflict in your team? #Leadership #ConflictResolution #Trust #WorkplaceCulture

We just posted: "What If Part of Fighting Back Is Building the New Future Now?" In times of uncertainty, resistance isn’t just about pushing back—it’s about creating something better. Leaders like Ella Baker, Octavia Butler, and bell hooks didn’t wait for permission; they built the future they wanted. Now it’s our turn. Read the full piece here:?

We’re only going to be able to do this together. That’s the core of co-creation, and it’s also the heart of Uncompete, a new book by our client and partner, Ruchika T. Malhotra, coming out on November 4. Uncompete challenges the scarcity mindset and competition-driven narratives that hold us back. Instead, Ruchika offers a radical reset on how we approach success—one that prioritizes collaboration over competition, abundance over scarcity, and co-creation over isolation. It’s a powerful, research-backed framework that aligns deeply with the work we do at CoCreate Work. We’re excited to support Uncompete and the movement it represents. Because the future of work—and the future, period—is about co-creating, not competing. Pre-order Uncompete with the link in comments, and let’s build something better, together. #Uncompete #CoCreateWork #AbundanceMindset #CommunityOverCompetition
