Your culture is the foundation for everything you are and do – how you lead, how your team functions, how your external clients and community see you, and how you see yourselves in the bigger picture. Just like society, all organizations have a culture.

Building a Purposefully Created Culture is the difference between a culture by default and one that is positioned to promote desired outcomes.

Participants will examine 4 specific cultural elements as they pertain to their organization, how they express them, and gain an understanding of why knowing them is important to guide continued organizational success. How did it come to be that? Was it by choice, or by chance?

Content:

• Exploring cultural elements of Heritage & Traditions, Beliefs & Values, Storytelling, Standard of Excellence
• Methods for increasing participation in your culture through the use of 4 key Tools
• Gain a better understanding of the value of shaping a "Purposefully Created Culture"
• Learn techniques to improve participation through, encouragement, positive reinforcement, and rewards
• Practice methods of exceptional storytelling as a way to help others better understand the benefits of belonging to your culture

For the better part of 30 years James trained Walt Disney World Cast Members and was a recipient of the prestigious Disney Legacy Award, one of the highest recognition honors presented by the Walt Disney Co. His career, and established expertise, in the delivery of education programs on the subject of emerging leadership training have made him highly sought after by universities, colleges and organizations looking to improve the skills of their own emerging leaders.

In 2017, James Songster launched this specialized series of seminars and workshops combining his knowledge of Disney heritage and operating philosophies, with his love of Magic. This has made it possible for a select number of clients who need to improve their own emerging leadership, teamwork, or creativity skills to work directly with James.
