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.”
