We are the Culture First KC peeps! 

Our purpose is to improve our world by improving the way we work. 


You'll know this is the group for you if the below community quotes resonates for you:

"Culture transformation is hard and can be lonely, but there are others doing this work and it's beneficial to learn and work together."
"It's helpful to get resources and the capability to brainstorm with like-minded people looking to improve the future of work."
"Many of us are practitioners building better workplaces and I am grateful to experience effective workplaces environments in practice like this to know what we are trying to create more of."


Our 5 core principles for how we do things around here:

Foster belonging and acceptance - We create environments where diverse opinions, orientations, and perspectives are embraced and valued. We cultivate peopleโ€™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. This starts with us being the change we want to see in the world. 

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 weโ€™re learning together about how to build better workplaces and cultures. We reflect on what we are willing to commit to taking action on. 

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 โ€“ not transactional business opportunities. Letโ€™s let this happen outside of our organized interactions.
