116 | How do you build good culture? How do you treat your team well?

I‘m often asked how my team mate Emily, and I have built a good dynamic, and while it’s not completely accidental it’s something that I want to ensure continues and develops as the business grows.

While I can say from my experience what I think has helped contribute to that working relationship I asked Hanna, founder of As We Are, to join me to share some of her expertise as a leadership coach. 

We dig into what creates a good company culture and how to implement it to make a positive work place for yourself, your team and even your freelancers.

It’s easy to assume company culture relates to bigger organisations or corporate companies, but actually how we want people to feel when they work with us is a key factor in growing and sustaining our business. 

Being intentional about the culture of your business means you can make sure it’s aligned with your values and your vision - and it’s not just about free snacks and bean bags. 

Hanna has so much knowledge on the requirements that need to be met to create a happy and safe work place, which highlighted to me how team culture is actually a foundational piece of building your business.

As my business grows and shifts, Emily and I are looking at how we want our roles in the business to feel and defining that company culture, so welcome to the first sneak peak behind the scenes as we start to lay the future foundations!
