Why you should worry less about culture and more about climate...

🧵👇

Culture is about the long-term vision we have for our team

Culture is also the result of whoever and whatever has come before us

Culture is the compounding of 1000s of small interactions over time

The word "culture" has become so popularized that coaches often feel we can just talk about it, then we have what we need.

It's a good thing that culture, and the recognition that there is a human side to performance, has become popularized, but it can do more harm than good if we just talk about the culture we're going to create but neglect to bring it to life.

Talking about culture, casting a vision for our culture, and defining our culture are all important.

But...

We should focus more on the CLIMATE we're creating moment by moment!

Culture can't be changed overnight, but we CAN change the climate instantly.

It's the climate that we create, moment by moment, that has the potential to make the long-term vision we have for our culture come to life.

We should constantly be asking ourselves this question:

"What's the next best decision I can make?"

Approaching our coaching with that mindset and asking ourselves that question can keep use grounded in the present moments.

It's about being where our feet our.

The way we show up each day, in each interaction is what ultimately creates the climate that builds the culture.

Coaches that create great climates are present in the moment and committed to making small, daily choices that bring the long-term vision for the culture to life.

Even if we step into a job where the culture is bad, we can find small, daily wins that will compound on one another to change the culture over time.
