About this episode

Chanie Wilschanski explores the hidden forces shaping school culture and introduces the Culture Decoder framework.

Your school has a culture right now. The question is whether you actually know what it's saying. In Part 1 of the Culture Decoder series, Chanie Wilschanski breaks down what company culture actually is, what it isn't, and how to start reading the emotional data already showing up in your building. You'll learn: - Why perks and team events are not culture (and what actually is) - How to identify your school's core cultural tension - Why negative emotions are your most valuable data - The first step of the Culture Decoder framework - Why building stronger culture starts with observing yourself, not your team Resources Mentioned Download Chapter One of This Can't Be Normal for free: https://thiscantbenormal.com/chapter-one This Can't Be Normal: What to Do When Success Starts to Feel Like Survival by Chanie Wilschanski — https://thiscantbenormal.com Connect With Us Let's Chat on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chaniewilschanski/ Mentioned in this episode: Sign up for the free Delegation Workshop: https://schoolsofexcellence.com/delegation
