Your Culture is Suffering if…
You have the experience of being stuck and mired in “people challenges” that are both time-consuming and draining. There are days when it feels heavy, hard and you may even want to throw your hands up and just settle for a culture that’s “fine.”
What to look out for:
- Your team members talk behind one another’s backs.
- Your team doesn’t perform to expectations and is always behind on goals.
- Your team doesn’t take ownership and isn’t proactively following through on tasks.
- Your team talks about problems and not solutions.
- Your team lacks confidence and is always second-guessing.
- Your team lacks trust and is territorial.
- Your team won’t let go of the past.
- Your team is overwhelmed and burnt out.
Camp Culture will help you address these issues as so much more!
Through Your Participation In Camp Culture You Will Have:
But above all else…

Why an Online Academy?
For over ten years, we have been conducting our year-long culture audits with teams across across a variety of industries – healthcare, accounting, manufacturing, education, government, construction, engineering, advertising, software…
Here’s what we’ve learned: it takes consistent, intentional, meaningful action to transform a culture.
That’s why this isn’t a one-time conference, training or workshop.
Also, while culture transformation doesn’t happen overnight, it does happen a lot quicker than a team would ever anticipate. We know that when you follow our culture success journey, you will see significant visible improvement within a year. An online academy allows Choose People to bring to you and your team the culture transformation you’re committed to at a fraction of the cost. Our Culture Audit investment is in the tens of thousands of dollars.
Here in Camp Culture, we can give you timely actionable guidance and tools that provide the most progress in the shortest amount of time with the least amount of effort for just $73/month.
Why invest in culture now?
We spend more time at work than we do anywhere else in our lives and you, and your team, deserve to not only not be miserable, but to have work experience that brings you joy. This is why I say when we make work life better, we make life work better.
And NOW more than ever with everything going on in the world, think about it for a moment, workplaces are one of the LAST havens, one of the last places where we all GET to work together – regardless of our beliefs or opinions.
Don’t settle for misery. Don’t settle for less than thriving. Remember, you spend 2000 hours of your life every single year at work. If you have a team of 8, you’re in charge of 16,000 hours of human contribution. As a dedicated leader, choose your people and join us in Camp Culture.
You don’t have to spend a bunch of money to have a thriving culture.
The most significant changes you can make have absolutely nothing to do with salaries, perks or incentives.
As a matter of fact the most impactful culture steps you can take are minimal in cost. Expensive parties, complicated incentive programs, day-long retreats and all those high resource initiatives actually create very little return all on their own.
If you’ve ever attempted to implement one of these and it fell flat, know that what you do daily is what ultimately makes the difference. Intentional, thoughtful, consistent, weekly action creates and sustains a thriving culture.
Think of the cost of losing one of your best people. Think of the cost of spending time on “people challenges.” Think of the cost of low performance, negative attitudes, apathy and resignation. Now, that’s expensive.
Right now, for just $73/month, you can receive all the expertise, support, guidance, tools and resources you need to take meaningful and powerful consistent action to create a cohesive thriving team.
That’s less than the cost of a pizza party for your team!
It’s Not As Hard As You Think
For many people culture is complex, but it isn’t hard to transform when you know exactly where to start and how to move forward. There are several key culture leverage points that when you put in a little bit of effort you cause powerful shifts.
At Camp Culture we will guide you through those exponential opportunities. Help you stay on the path and even if you veer off course, we will be there to help you get back on track as fast and painlessly as possible.
Culture Doesn’t Require a lot of Time
Really. In less than two hours a week you can create and sustain an exceptional culture. What culture does require is consistent weekly attention and action – that’s why at Camp Culture you will receive clarity on how and where to focus your efforts and spend your time to make the biggest impact with your team.
We promise that if you follow through on the milestones we provide you that in less than a year you will make significant visible progress towards creating a thriving cohesive team.
You’re Not Special
Well, actually YOU are but your culture challenges aren’t. What we can tell you is that people are people.
Having done this work for over a decade, everything we provide in Camp Culture has worked across a variety of workforces – manufacturing, engineering, healthcare, government, higher education, retail, senior living.
With that said, we know there will be times when you run into specific culture challenges,
Camp Culture is here to provide timely support through our Q&As with Kris and the Private Mess Hall Facebook group.

FAQs
A: I’ll be totally upfront with you. Yes, there’s a significant amount we’re going to ask you to learn and implement inside of Camp Culture. Yes, it’ll probably be a little uncomfortable at times.
But here’s the thing…as long as you’re willing to invest 100 minutes every week – that’s 20-minutes/day, less than two hours week, and you reach out for help every time you get stuck, you can absolutely do this.
You’ve probably noticed by now that a thriving workplace culture doesn’t just happen. It takes intentionality and consistent thoughtful attention. If you’re reading this, I’m sure you actually want to put in the effort. You just want to make absolutely sure that every amount of effort you invest will move you closer to your goal.
And that’s my promise to you. You’ll never waste your time and energy, and you’ll always feel like everything you’re doing is bringing you one step closer to creating and sustaining a thriving cohesive culture.
A: Both.
Over our ten years of doing this work, we’ve supported brand new “green” managers who are looking to garner credibility with their team and gain clarity on how to create a thriving culture. We’ve also worked with seasoned managers who have years of experience leading teams and supported them with solving complex culture challenges as well as implementing those small tweaks that make a big difference.
Dedication and commitment to learning and development are really the only common denominators needed to be successful in this work.
The milestones in Camp Culture will make no assumptions of your current skill level as it relates to culture work and we will map out the entire A-Z process of creating and sustaining a thriving cohesive culture for your team. At times we will provide additional “Stage 1 guidance” and “Stage 4 guidance” for the action steps as we know participants are coming in from a variety of different backgrounds, various levels of expertise and varied current culture experiences.
A: Absolutely.
Here’s what we know – many organizations are in the zone of “meh, okay, fine, good, pretty good” when it comes to their culture. Meaning it’s not toxic – yay! And it’s not thriving.
Pretty good is pretty good. And you could choose to be content with pretty good. Many organizations are.
But stop for a moment and imagine what it would be like to come to work and have the experience of THRIVING – where real deal smiles and laughter are common, morale is high, and everything just “clicks.” There’s ease, velocity and confidence in how the work gets done – and your team accomplishes remarkable results with high fives. It’s just a whole different world than “pretty good.” Think of the last time you ate a meal that was “pretty good” as compared to one that made your mouth sing. It’s two totally different experiences.
Here’s what else I know, we currently have campers who already have a thriving culture that have joined Camp Culture. Why? Because they know the importance of sustaining what they’ve created. Culture is not a one and done. Just like the champion basketball player practices dribbling, you have to consistently and intentionally nurture your culture – practicing and reinforcing the fundamentals as well as keeping it fresh and innovative.
A: Yes. There are three ways you can get your questions answered by Kris.
Kris will conduct a Live Q&A in the members only exclusive Facebook group. You can submit your questions at any time to be answered in the next Live Q&A. (Every Q&A is recorded so don’t worry if you can’t make them all.)
In addition, you will be a part of an active and highly supportive Facebook community full of peers who are on the exact same journey as you are. Meaning, you will always be able to find an answer to your questions. Kris will also be active in this community several times per week.
Also as a benefit of Camp Culture, we encourage you to submit your complex culture challenges for a one-on-one Fireside Chat, laser coaching session with Kris. Each month we will choose several submissions. Kris will then dig in and specifically support you in what you’re up against.
A: Absolutely not.
I totally understand the frustration of only getting “one piece of the puzzle” at a time, only to find out your actual results are dependent on the “next thing.” I also recognize that you don’t have the time or energy to be pulled down an endless rabbit hole. Rest assured, there will be no “carrot dangling” here.
It’s literally all here. Everything you need to develop your confidence, capacity and courage as a leader to create and sustain a thriving workplace culture for your team is right here inside of Camp Culture.
If your goal is to completely shift your entire organization’s culture, then consider purchasing Camp Culture for your entire leadership and management teams.
If your goal is to sharpen your HR processes (think employee handbook, healthcare evaluation, market compensation comparisons, regulatory alignment) then you may choose to invest in another program to help you in that arena. While we do walk you through how to be culturally-savvy throughout the employment life cycle of a team member (from hiring to performance reviews to compensation conversations to dismissal with dignity), we don’t delve into the transactional HR processes nor regulations. We highly recommend leaning on your expert HR people to support you in these areas!
But if your goal is to lead a cohesive team that can tackle any challenge with confidence and enthusiasm – then everything you need is on the other side of this page.
A: When you join, you’ll get immediate access to the orientation milestone where you’ll dig into the 5 stages of Culture Success Journey. Here you’ll also discover which stage you’re in and we’ll provide you with 3 specific bite-size actions for your stage that you can take on right now to make progress. This milestone also sets you up for success as it gives you the “lay of the land” so you know how to easily access all the benefits of the online academy.
From there, you’ll be given access to one milestone per month so that you have ample time to dive into the milestone content and implementation action steps before moving onto the next milestone.
We do this to protect your time, attention, and focus while sparing you from the intense overwhelm that stops most people who are deep diving into culture work.
A: On average, it will take you less than two hours a week.
Each monthly milestone consists of a training video that’s about 10-minutes long and then three resources to implement that milestone. These range in time commitment, though are intended to take you about 3 hours/month. Then we highly recommend participating in the Facebook Mess Hall group at least once a week and seeing the best practices of your peers as well as sharing your thoughts and suggestions around challenges and questions that fellow campers share.
The Live Q&As are an hour long and recorded. The Facilitated Culture Masterminds are 90-minutes. Fireside chats (laser one-one-one coaching) vary in time, but tend to be a half hour to an hour. Culture Champion Spotlights are about an hour long and recorded.
My best advice is to plan out your month, schedule it in your calendar (we provide a recommended calendar) and then take it one week at a time.
We’ve streamlined and simplified the entire process so that step-by-step you can make consistent progress and reach the summit without feeling like you need to catch your breath.
A: Because Camp Culture is an online academy and not a workshop, there’s no specific “end date.” We intentionally created an online academy to ongoingly support leaders and managers in taking consistent weekly actions to nurture their team’s culture.
With that said, know that there are 15 months of milestone content. This content follows the clear path of our Culture Success Journey which consists of 5 stages. Each stage has 3 milestones and one milestone is delivered each month. Each milestone includes 3 specific steps and tools/resources to implement that milestone.
Upon completion of these 15 milestones, you will receive a Camp Culture Certificate of Completion. Once you’ve completed the milestones, you may choose to stay on as an alumni and continue to benefit from all the other ongoing resources, support and community of Camp Culture.
A: While the core content is not customized for your specific team’s needs – it will arm you with the skills to create and sustain a thriving workplace culture for your team – visibly improving both morale and performance.
What is customized, and would address the specifics that your team faces, are the twice monthly Live Q&As where you can submit and ask questions regarding your specific challenges. You also have an opportunity to be selected for one of our “Fireside Chat” one-on-one coaching sessions, and you can always get timely responses to your questions inside our Members-Only Facebook Community “Mess Hall.”
