Manage episode 462526162 series 3500008
What if the missing piece to a thriving ministry isn’t more strategy or programs but healthier culture? In this episode of Life After Ministry, we dive deep with Jenni Catron, a renowned culture coach, to uncover the secret sauce behind teams that thrive.
Together, we explore how great leaders don’t leave culture to chance - they build it with clarity and intention.
Jenni shares her personal journey from working in the record industry to executive church leadership and why culture became her passion. She opens up about her “aha moment” of realizing how deeply culture shapes our experiences and why neglecting it can derail even the best ministries.
Whether you’re a leader navigating toxic environments or simply trying to build a team that flourishes, this conversation delivers wisdom and practical tools to take your culture to the next level.
Key Takeaways- Great culture doesn’t happen by accident: It takes a clear vision and deliberate effort.
- Why leaders often miss the mark: Without clarity, teams are left guessing - and disengaged.
- Staff transitions matter more than you think: How we say goodbye impacts the whole team’s trust and morale.
