Unscripted: Culture

(RSVP @ our private FB group) Ask yourself: “Are we building a culture that raises the standard—or one that quietly lowers it?“

— What behavior gets rewarded—intentionally or not?

— Where does your stated culture and actual culture diverge?

Culture isn’t what you say—it’s what you tolerate, reward, and repeat.

You don’t build a culture with slogans. You build it with standards—and the consistency to enforce them. Every compromise lowers the bar. Every act of courage raises it. Over time, those choices shape not just your environment, but your legacy.

Your people are watching. They’re learning what’s acceptable by what gets overlooked. They’re deciding how high to aim based on how often you raise the bar. And when things go wrong, they’ll look to the top—because that’s where the real bottlenecks begin.

Culture doesn’t drift. It either climbs or collapses. Lead like it matters—because it does.

These lunches are not presentations. The topics are simply conversation starters…nudges.

There is no stage, no slides, and no expert at the front of the room. Each gathering is an open forum built around one foundational business topic—led by the Executives’ Club Members in the room.

This is where executives speak candidly, tell real stories, test assumptions, and ask the questions they don’t get to ask anywhere else. The value comes from shared experience, hard-earned perspective, and the willingness to engage honestly with peers who understand the weight of leadership.
