Culture Coaching and the Thermometer Principle

Thermometer Principle: taking a temperature on Culture and climate

Four people sit at a conference table and are talking

My philosophy on culture is this: Intention is different from reality. The people who really know what your company’s culture feels like is the broader employee base. Many corporate executives know what a culture should be, but strategically crafted company positioning about the culture is vastly different from day-to-day encounters.

If your company’s culture isn’t what it should be, my culture coaching sessions can work to turn it around. I incorporate what I call the Thermometer Principle for office culture into my culture awareness training sessions with the goal of identifying inclusivity needs in the workplace.

The Thermometer Principle is meant to help extract a “temperature” on your office’s cultural climate. The findings identify trends across the organization, some of which may pose retention risks. This information allows me to craft culture training courses based on demonstrated needs. The data points I collect qualitatively and quantitatively measure perception, levels of trust in leadership, and managerial satisfaction. I don’t focus solely on negatives in cross-culture training; my data collection also captures areas of organizational strength. This practice is paramount for organizations seeking to be inclusive.

To understand how this is executed, let's discuss. 

Start a dialogue with me about your company’s culture coaching needs by contacting me via email or submission form. My culture training based on the Thermometer Principle in office culture can greatly improve your staff’s feelings of trust, satisfaction, and psychological well-being at work.
