This is where the Columbus, Ohio community connects on shaping a thriving workplace culture.
A group of people in Columbus, Ohio united in the shared belief that a better world of work is possible.
Our mission is to create a better world of work today, so we can have a better future of living, tomorrow.
Our vision is to bring together people who are passionate about unlocking humanity at work through inspiring experiences and purposeful connections.
For organizations to grow and thrive, the world of work has to work better for People. Being ‘Culture First’ is about recognizing this simple truth and then finding ways to act on it. It’s easier said than done, but we’ve found something that helps tremendously — working through issues as a community.
✨ Foster belonging and acceptance. We create environments where diverse opinions, orientations, and perspectives are embraced and valued. We cultivate people’s wholeness and humanity.
✨ Be willing to reflect and grow. We take an honest look at the things that can be improved in our workplaces and in our own leadership. We want to challenge and support one another to develop ourselves and our organizations.
✨ Have the courage to be vulnerable. Vulnerability is at the heart of courage. We create safe environments for people to explore deeper levels of vulnerability. Changing the way we work is hard and takes vulnerability.
✨ Putting learning into action. Our goal is to create change in the world. For this to happen, we need to act on what we’re learning together about how to build better workplaces and cultures.
✨ Connection inside, business outside. This is not just another networking group or a place to push business cards. We realize and expect, that connections and business opportunities will come from this community. However, the goal of our community events is to foster human connection, learning, and action — not transactional business opportunities. Let’s let this happen outside of our organized interactions.

Chapter Event
Developing an Outward Mindset — with Ben Bowling
How we see other people determines our outcomes. When we have an inward mindset, we see others as objects: vehicles or barriers that we use for our own interests. When we have an outward mindset, we see others as people who matter like we do. Come explore how these two mindsets produce very different outcomes in both our personal and professional lives.
