Culture eats strategy for breakfast
Why culture matters more than you think
In the fast-paced world of startups, founders are constantly juggling product development, market fit, investor pitches, and team growth. But one critical factor is often overlooked: culture.
And here's the kicker: The #1 predictor of a startup’s ability to innovate is the level of psychological safety within its culture.
If your team doesn't feel safe to take risks, speak up, or fail fast, your innovation engine is already running on empty. This workshop will give you practical strategies to design, refine, and leverage your culture as a true competitive advantage.
