Cultivating Intentional Organizational Culture

Culture doesn’t protect itself. If you don’t design it, you’ll default to one—and it’s usually not the one you want. In this episode, Jenni unpacks the build phase of the LeadCulture Framework: the rhythms and systems that take culture from aspirational to operational.

Joining her is Carson Pedraza, Executive Director of Operations at Local Church in South Florida. Carson has been instrumental in creating a playbook that protects and reinforces culture across the employee journey—from interviewing and onboarding to staff meetings and even staff transitions.

Together, they’ll explore:

• Why culture unravels without intentional rhythms
• How to weave values into everyday practices and team rhythms
• Practical systems that ensure culture isn’t just written on the wall, but lived in real time

If you’ve ever felt like your team is drifting, rehashing the same issues, or slipping toward disengagement, this episode will help you design rhythms that sustain a thriving culture over time.
