I am so excited to share the new format of my weekly podcast. Formerly Authentic Energy, now The Culture Coach Podcast
This podcast is evolving from helping individuals find their "Authentic Energy" to helping leaders build a culture that they can be proud of. "The Culture Coach" reflects the mission of WMB Coaching and Consulting, which is to help leaders build an environment where their employees can thrive and their productivity and profits naturally rise. I’m sharing weekly content specifically for leaders of small businesses and non-profit organizations who want to build a company culture that makes them proud.

Welcome to the Culture Coach Podcast. I'm Wendy Brand, your Culture Coach, dedicated to supporting people-first leaders. Each week, we dive into strategies and insights to help you build a workplace where employees feel valued, motivated and inspired. Join me weekly for practical tips, expert interviews and real-world examples to help you boost productivity, extinguish burnout and cultivate a vibrant organizational culture that reflects your mission, vision and values. Well hello, I am so excited to share the new format of my weekly podcast, formerly Authentic Energy, now the Culture Coach Podcast.
Speaker 1I started my podcast in February of 2023, and at that time I was four months out from having left my corporate career to start my company WMB Coaching and Consulting. But even though I started a company, I was not 100% sure what my next career journey would look like. This podcast has been an opportunity to work through my career transition by sharing interviews and really my rantings, my musings, with each of you. I'm so grateful for the guests that allowed me to interview them and share their stories of burnout and insights on leadership culture coaching. Over the last 15 months, I have created 57 episodes and I am so grateful for those of you that have followed me along this journey and hopefully learned with me along the way, I'm so grateful for some of my original guests, like Mary Stitch, Sarah Brand, pam Nimick, delise Simmons, just to name a few of the friends and colleagues that stepped in when I started my podcast. Really just seeking other people's journey, wanting to understand, wanting to learn from others, is really why I started this podcast, because, as I have shared many times, I had burned out in my corporate role and I didn't know what I had done wrong. I didn't know what I was missing, why I had burned out. And so I reached out to people that I trusted, that I viewed as successful, to learn from them. What had they done differently along their career, and I learned a lot about understanding my personal value, my core values, setting boundaries and really doing things that play to my strengths. And so today I'm in a different spot, and so it just makes sense that this podcast would also shift and change. So I'm excited today to share with you the vision and evolution of this podcast.
Speaker 1The purpose of the Culture Coach is to provide tools and guidance for leaders that are looking to build a culture where their employees can thrive, a place that they can be proud of, that puts people first, and leaders that understand that when they do that, the profits will follow. So in the coming months I'll be bringing on authors, leaders and experts to share insights and experience, but I'll also continue to have solo episodes where I'll share research and provide real-life scenarios that I am experiencing daily in my work with clients. So I'm taking the work that I have done with other cultures and other corporations that I've worked for, where I have led culture work around mergers and acquisitions, around company growth and employer brand strategies, and now the work that I do with individual organizations, with CEOs of nonprofits and small businesses, where I'm helping them assess their culture and then pinpoint areas of opportunity for improvement and that's really the consulting side of it. And then some of the leadership and executive coaching that I'm doing along the way. I'm really excited to bring this experience to you, but also to continue learning and growing with you. So if the shift is not a complete departure from my original content In fact, if you're an OG listener, you may not see much of a change, except for the title right my intention is to provide free content to leaders that want to be intentional about building their culture. The work that I'm doing with clients, one-on-one, is exciting and it feels impactful, but I have a platform here that I can use to reach further and offer guidance for free. So I really hope you'll stay with me for this next round of content.
Speaker 1Will the podcast look the same this time next year? I'm not sure, but what I do know is that businesses are struggling to hire and retain good talent. The struggle is real. The world of work as we know it is changing right before our eyes, and leaders need to be more nimble and more human more than ever. So I'm excited for this next round of content. Thank you so much for listening. Through my authentic energy phase, I hope you will now tune in for the culture coach phase, and if you know someone that may benefit from this podcast whether they're a leader of a company that wants to put people first, or they're a CEO that's building a business and wants to start a culture from scratch and is looking for a blueprint to do that please forward this podcast.
Speaker 1The trailer is now available. This episode is a nice kind of restart and then next Friday we'll be back to our regular Friday episodes of content and it will be themed with this culture coach framework in mind. Thank you so much for listening. I'm excited for what's in store. I hope you are too. I hope you'll stay with me on this journey. Thank you so much for listening. I'm excited for what's in store. I hope you are too. I hope you'll stay with me on this journey, thank you.
