Brand is culture turned inside out.  Are your teams living the brand?  Do your sales show it?

Creating Culture

Why Some Organizations Thrive While Others Survive

Culture is an organization’s expression of itself. It’s the living, breathing DNA that delivers on the brand promise – or not.

Company culture is inspired from the top down, built from the ground up, and expressed from the inside out.  Great cultures reinforce themselves. Predictably, toxic cultures do the same.

In the C-suite, the company looks to you to set the bar. What’s your vision for the company and why? Is it shared by all stakeholders? Is it worthy of people’s time, attention, and dedication? Are you and your teams “living the brand”?

If you’re not in the C-suite, act like you are. The same principles of leadership apply whether you’re managing a team of ten or ten thousand. Either way, you can create a culture that builds the brand, draws and retains top talent, and forms the Kevlar-coated competitive edge that drives results.

Jackie Gonzalez is a Public Speaker on Improving Company Culture

Not content with the status quo?

“Having successfully launched and developed several medical sales and service organizations over the years, I know the value of well-placed talent in the early stages of a new initiative. As VP of Sales, Jackie was able to create a shared vision and translate that vision into action plans. A strategic, results-oriented executive, Jackie has a strong track record for identifying the critical success factors necessary to achieve corporate goals. She is both a leader and a team player, as effective with C-level executives as she is with field sales representatives. Jackie’s contributions at a critical time for the business were invaluable.”

Paul Herchman

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD, MD PARTNERS

“I’m a small business owner and a proud graduate of the ‘school of hard knocks’. I started Metro Communication Systems in my garage in 1997 and I’ve had to learn a lot the hard way – by looking back at serious costly challenges and figuring out how they could have been avoided.

Since meeting Jackie a few years ago, I’ve had the pleasure on many occasions to visit with her and get her real-life experience and knowledge as to what it takes to truly get the nuts and bolts of building a great company culture and infrastructure for the business. I / Metro have gained back 10-fold due to her knowledge and experience. We still have over 20 of our original employees hired back in the early 2000’s. Jackie’s coaching helped me to get done exactly what I wanted: The staff at Metro Communication Systems truly care about Metro and its customers.

I have experienced a couple of situations with EEOC and attorneys where if my team and Metro did not perform the correct policy and procedures; it could have been financially catastrophic. I strongly recommend Jackie and her knowledge for any size company. Your company will see the value very quickly.”
