Strong cultures don't develop by chance. They are built by design.
Part of the Business Growth Studio
The best businesses don't just happen.
Neither do the best cultures.
Every organisation has a culture. It's influencing performance, recruitment, retention, engagement and customer experience every single day. The question is whether you've designed it intentionally, or whether it's been left to develop by default.
Join us for a dynamic, highly interactive Business Growth Studio that will challenge how you think about culture and, more importantly, give you practical tools to shape it.
Led by leadership and performance expert Emma-Jane Bisseker, this powerful session goes far beyond theory. Through live discussion, practical challenges, peer-to-peer learning and guided exercises, you'll uncover the hidden behaviours, habits and unwritten rules that are really driving your organisation.
You'll leave with fresh ideas, honest insights and your own practical Culture Blueprint to help build a stronger, more engaged and higher-performing workplace.
Why This Event Matters
As businesses grow, culture becomes either your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle.
The organisations that attract top talent, retain great people and consistently outperform competitors rarely do so by accident. They've created environments where people can thrive.
This session will help you:
- Create a culture people want to be part of
- Improve engagement, accountability and performance
- Retain talented employees
- Strengthen leadership impact
- Future-proof your organisation as it grows
- Turn culture into a genuine competitive advantage

Expect More Than Just Another Business Event
This is not a lecture.
This is not death by PowerPoint.
This is an energising, hands-on workshop designed to get leaders talking, reflecting and taking action.
Expect honest conversations, practical challenges, fresh thinking and valuable insights from fellow business leaders who are facing many of the same people challenges as you.
You'll explore:
✅ The culture your organisation actually has versus the culture you think it has
✅ The unwritten rules that shape behaviour and performance
✅ What happens to culture when businesses scale and grow
✅ The leadership behaviours that build trust, accountability and engagement
✅ Practical actions you can implement immediately
Your Personal Culture Blueprint
A key feature of the session is the creation of your own Culture Blueprint.
You'll identify:
- The behaviours you want to encourage
- The behaviours you need to challenge
- The behaviours you refuse to accept
- The next action you'll take back to your organisation
This isn't another networking event where you leave inspired but unsure what to do next.
You'll leave with a practical, personalised action plan you can start using immediately.
What You'll Take Away
Every delegate will leave with:
✓ A completed Culture Blueprint
✓ Fresh ideas from fellow business leaders
✓ New business connections
✓ Practical tools to improve workplace culture
✓ Greater confidence in leading people through growth and change
✓ A clear action to implement within the next 30 days
Networking Included
The morning begins and ends with dedicated networking, giving you plenty of opportunity to connect with fellow Chamber members and guests, exchange ideas and build valuable business relationships.
The conversations don't stop when the workshop ends.
What to Bring
Please bring a notebook and pen or a laptop/tablet.
This is a practical working session, and you'll be actively contributing, capturing ideas and completing your Culture Blueprint throughout the morning.
