JKLPCadmin 0 Comments Core Values Passion People Performance Plan Preservation Promise Purpose
Cultures, just like various and diverse grains, seeds, and nuts, each has its value to nourish and provide unique tastes to nurture our lives. Too often when something is different we first turn our nose up or away rather than pointing it directly at the matter and learning what is good. In a culture where we first engage positively rather than negatively, we can only rise higher to more and greater fulfillment.

Our society is one of instant gratification, noise, bells, whistles, lights, all simultaneously filling the areas around us.

A Culture of being grateful
JKLPCadmin 0 Comments Core Values Passion People Performance Plan Preservation Promise Purpose
Cultures evolve from simple aspects of life. As a young boy, I can recall my parents and grandparents mantra of reminding me to say “Please” and “Thank you.” At the time it became a simple phrase as I was headed out the door to someone else home or event. That recurrence set in motion the cultivation of being grateful as part of my personal culture. Originally I would say it to satisfy the request of my elders. Now, I engage in being grateful as it is a means of pure respect for those who have crossed my path on my journey.

What shapes Culture?
JKLPCadmin 0 Comments Core Values Passion People Performance Plan Preservation Promise Purpose
We all come in various shapes, sizes, and diverse backgrounds. At our core, we all need some basic things – air to breath, water to drink, food to eat. We additionally pursue – safety, security, and shelter. These elements when present or absent contribute to the culture that rises from them. The nudge in one direction or another. When safety exists then one level of culture matures. When security is absent then the void is filled with other cultural aspects to accommodate the missing element.

You may have a belief – a value, but is it supported by the way you will live your life – the principle? You may value “Fairness” for example but what and how are you going to hold yourself to your internal law – the principle?

What is your real business “Purpose”
JKLPCadmin 0 Comments Core Values Passion People Performance Plan Preservation Promise Purpose
As you think about the culture of your business you MUST start with knowing and embracing your “Purpose.” When asking business owners the purpose of their business, I will typically get the answer – “We are in business to make money.” Although I can’t argue that making money is a worthwhile objective it is actually a result and not a purpose. To explore your real “Purpose” you must discover the “Why” of yourself and your business. Simon Sinek and his team drive home the basis of “WHY.” Without your “Purpose” you are adrift on a vast sea without sight of land.
