    Jill Valdez: Your Culture Is Speaking Before You Do

    Send us Fan Mail https://www.skool.com/thebusinessnetwork https://dailyincomemethod.app/lp/quiz?ref=PODCASTHOST   📝Description: What if the culture you want is already waiting inside the way you serve, lead, listen, and show up? In this heart-centered conversation, Steve Ramona sits down with Jill Valdez to explore what truly shapes a business's emotional atmosphere. Jill brings a grounded, deeply human perspective to leadership, reminding us that culture is not a slogan on a wall. It is the behavior people experience every day. It is the feeling in the room. It is the way people are treated when things are hard, unclear, or changing. Jill shares how leaders define culture not only by what they say, but by what they allow, reinforce, and live. From the top leader of a company to the newest person on the team, every action contributes to what grows. She invites business owners and entrepreneurs to look honestly at their purpose, their people, their soft skills, and their willingness to change. Her message is clear: if you want different results, you cannot wish your way there. You have to take a different action.   P.S. As you listen, ask yourself one honest question: What kind of culture am I creating in the rooms I enter today?  🎯 What You’ll Learn: ✅  Culture starts with what people experience  ✅  Soft skills are business skills.  ✅  Different results require different actions.    ⏱️Timestamps: 0:00 — Intro & Sponsors 2:14 — Defining Culture 7:57 — Hard vs. Soft Skills 13:54 — Leadership & Company Why 21:02 — Embracing Change 25:52 — Resources & Wrap-Up   🤝Connect with Jill Valdez: 💥Web: linkconsulting.info  https://www.linkconsulting.info/confidentleadership   https://www.linkconsulting.info/lunchnlearnregistration 💥LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/jillvaldezlink   🤝Connect with Steve Ramona: 💥Web: https://steve-ramona.com/ 💥LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/steveramona/ 💥IG: https://www.instagram.com/bizopportunitynow/ 💥Podcast: https://www.servinginbusinesspodcast.com/   🔖Tags: #ServantLeadership #EmpathyInLeadership #TeamCulture Free Business Education: https://bit.ly/4qeA03q  Free Newsletter: https://bit.ly/4pOcgU9  Serving Journal: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CSNSY1M1  Join Me on Substack: https://podcasthost.substack.com/ Doing Business with a Servant's Heart Named Top 20 Small Business Marketing Podcast https://podcast.feedspot.com/small_business_marketing_podcasts/ Subscribe to our Podcast Newsletter  https://doing-business-with-a-servants-heart.kit.com/628f9d5962

When Jesse Poppick asked, “How’s your sexual health?” he was not trying to embarrass anyone. He was trying to open a door most people spend their lives avoiding.
