We believe in a collaborative and iterative approach, where we work closely with organizations to embed equity into their daily operations. Our ideal process involves a deep dive into an organization’s culture and systems, followed by ongoing partnership to implement lasting change."

Trying to impact an organization without first building a cohesive team is like trying to run before you can walk. As leaders, we're often eager to make our mark on the broader organization. But here's the truth: sustainable influence grows from the inside out. At Culture Refinery we've found that expanding your team's impact requires a solid foundation that starts with self-awareness, builds upon strong one-on-one relationships, and emphasizes team cohesion. Then, and only then, can you start to expand your influence. We recently shared a blog post unpacking this Inside Out Leadership Framework — you can find the full rundown here: https://bit.ly/4ejYxhy Now, I'm curious: What's one way you've successfully expanded your team's influence in your organization? Or, if you're working on this, what's your biggest challenge? #TeamDynamics #Leadership #Relationships
