Strategy sets direction. Culture determines how people move.
Leadership and culture are deeply connected drivers of organisational performance. What leaders model becomes the norm for how teams communicate, decide, collaborate and respond under pressure.
Hybrid work, AI-enabled workflows and rising employee expectations make clarity, trust, psychological safety and ownership more important than ever.
This example shows three direct fits for the brief, plus one wildcard designed to change the energy in the room.
Start with the question.
This is the event context behind the example shortlist below.

Key question
How can leaders strengthen culture through the behaviours they model every day?
Desired impact
Strengthen leadership mindset, promote a healthier culture and inspire more ownership across teams.
Three strong fits for this brief.
Each recommendation brings a different route into the same business question.
01
Ashley Goodall
Former SVP of Leadership, Cisco | Former CLO, Deloitte | Bestselling Author of 'The Problem with Change'
Ashley challenges standardised leadership systems and shows how attention, team intelligence and the everyday experience of work create performance more reliably than cascading competency models.
Why this fits
His senior experience at Cisco and Deloitte gives the shortlist a strong organisational anchor while keeping the focus on behaviours leaders can change.
Annicken shows leaders how to align culture with strategy using the Corporate Spring Model. She translates values into daily behaviours that scale across functions and create joy, psychological safety and accountability.
Why this fits
Ideal for executives who want cultural transformation with practical tools and ownership behaviours that can be implemented immediately.
03
Princess Castleberry
Founder, Castleberry Global | Leadership Capacity Strategist
Princess helps leaders reduce behavioural risks that undermine culture. Her framework focuses on high-trust habits, burnout prevention and candid communication.
Why this fits
A strong fit for executive audiences that need high-impact behavioural shifts tied directly to culture and ownership norms.
+1
Not the obvious choice. Still relevant to the brief.
Marcus Collins
Marketing Professor, Michigan Ross | Bestselling Author of 'For the Culture' | Former Digital Strategist for Beyoncé
Marcus explains culture as the system of shared meanings that tells people what is normal, valued and possible — and shows how leaders influence behaviour by shaping those meanings, not merely announcing values.
Why the wildcard
A distinctive +1 that brings cultural strategy into the room and helps executives understand why formal messages fail when collective beliefs point elsewhere.
