  • 009-Your Role in Culture: Five Ways to Make an Impact

    009-Your Role in Culture: Five Ways to Make an Impact
    Dec 9 2025

    Culture isn't a department. It's a daily practice.

    In this episode of Beyond the Class, Misty Janks, CEO of the Chapman Foundation, returns to tackle a common misconception: that organizational culture belongs only to HR or leadership. Misty reminds us that culture is a lived experience shaped by every interaction—every email, meeting, and hallway conversation.

    She shares five actionable steps that anyone can take to make culture everyone's responsibility:

    • Lead by example—model trust, respect, and accountability.
    • Foster meaningful connections—because culture thrives on relationships, not just processes.
    • Communicate with transparency and trust—and learn the four elements that make trust stick.
    • Take ownership of problems and solutions—move from commentary to contribution.
    • Recognize and reinforce positive behaviors—because people repeat what is appreciated.

    From connection questions to stay interviews, Misty shows how intentional actions—big and small—create a workplace where trust grows, and people feel they matter.

    LEVEL UP OPPORTUNITY:
    Pick one of these five steps and put it into action this week. Write it on a sticky note, set a reminder, and make it happen. Ownership starts with you.

    Creating a culture of accountability and trust is a cornerstone of our Caring Workplaces program and our foundational class, Our Community Transforms. Visit the link below to learn more.
