    You Already Have a Culture: How to Cultivate One You Actually Like w/Bill Harney

    You Already Have a Culture: How to Cultivate One You Actually Like w/Bill Harney

    Every organization has a culture, whether we’re intentional about it or not. Leaders cultivate the culture and that impacts the results we get. How people feel, speak, act and interact within our businesses is what ultimately drives our success and profitability.
    The problem with culture is that it’s very often just stated, not lived and even worse, without realizing it, leaders could be killing their culture with their own words.
    Strong cultures are built around belonging, and in our world that goes beyond our teams, it includes the people we serve too. How we lead can either create belonging or create rifts between our people which will rip our businesses apart.
    How do we change culture by changing our language? What do teams with strong cultures do differently? In this episode, owner of Keeping Current Matters, Bill Harney talks about simple steps that will transform our culture.
     
    When you unintentionally use exclusionary words that strikes rifts in an organization and that becomes a culture killer. -Bill Harney 
     
    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
     
    -Language can rip your culture part
    How do we avoid using words that unintentionally exclude people and create rifts in our organizations?

    -What strong cultures have in common
    How do we build and cultivate teams where people are happy to come to work and work together?

    In this episode, we’re joined by Cincinnati Realtor, Remi Aina. She shares her 30 Mornings experience and how she has created a morning routine that serves her life.

     
    Appreciation changes your mindset. When you can bring back into focus the good things that have happened that day, you rest better. -Remi Aina

    In today’s connection-starved world, the cold, fist-to-the-face marketing strategies that once worked are falling flat. Relationships are the key to building a thriving, blooming real estate business.
     
    While many people don’t believe a referral-based business can rival (and even surpass) a marketing-based one, the numbers don’t lie. Agents who focus on deep connections do better consistently, and make more with less stress.

    -Set boundaries around your business
    In this business, it’s so easy to fall into the trap of being available all the time. How do we avoid burnout and still achieve a thriving real estate career?
     
    -Don’t get lost in the likes
    Social media platforms only seem to foster a false sense of connection. How can we build genuine relationships?
