Your culture is your #1 competitive advantage …
… but only if your leaders and employees understand this. And only if you’re intentional about creating an inspiring workplace culture.
Are you struggling with how to create a more positive, collaborative workplace environment?
Do you want to be known as an inspiring leader that leaves behind an inspiring legacy?
Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed or disengaged at work?
Do you wonder what it would take for YOUR workplace to earn the reputation for being one of the “best places to work” in your industry or in your community?
Are you frustrated with the lack of real communication at work and working with employees who operate in “silos” with a bunker mentality?
Have you struggled getting your employees to embrace a service-first mindset to consistently deliver customer service that truly wows your customers?
Are you tired of working in a soul-sucking, fun-sucking, Dilbert-like work environment?
Meet Hall of Fame Speaker, Michael Kerr
After working in a soul-destroying, dysfunctional workplace, I decided to make it my mission to help leaders truly lead and to help organizations re-energize their workplace culture.
My passion is sharing real life examples of leaders and organizations that have transformed their culture from a “have to” kind of workplace to a “want to” kind of workplace that drives outrageous results!
Take the AFA JCDecaux office in Copenhagen, Denmark, who, after only 6 months, went from being an already highly successful company to an even greater level of success by re-energizing their culture. A company where, after only 6 months, virtually every employee agreed with the statement, “I now work for a brand new company!”
Or consider Argus Industries,from Winnipeg, who have embraced the mantra “Work is hard enough as it is without making it any harder!”. Argus has had virtually zero employee turnover over 10 years because they’ve focused intentionally on building their culture.
And if you’ve ever doubted that it’s truly possible to dramatically change an entire culture, especially a dysfunctional culture, consider the compelling story of the USS Benfold: A missile destroyer in the US Navy that went from a crew retention rate of 28% to 100%, and transformed itself from a work environment plagued with problems to, after only 15 months, winning an award as the best ship in the US Navy.
These, and so many other success stories from around the world demonstrate that you really can shift your culture in meaningful ways - and often, that shift can happen relatively quickly and painlessly - as long as you commit to investing intentionally in your culture!
Which is why I’ve created one of the most-comprehensive e-learning courses on workplace culture you’ll find anywhere.

I’m going to be honest with you. This is an in-depth program, so it’s not for everybody! If you aren’t seriously committed to making changes to your culture then this isn’t for you!
Even though I’ll be sharing loads of relevant, easily-implementable ideas, understand that there are no quick fixes or silver bullets. You need to be committed to setting aside the time to do this course and you need to commit to acting!
The Culture Leadership Academy is aimed at any leader (in the true sense of the word) interested in making a positive, substantial impact on their workplace.
Yes, leadership starts at the highest levels in any organization, so we recommend as many of your managers and supervisors enlist as possible if you are going to make a real difference in your workplace.
But remember, in order to change your culture you need as many allies as possible! You need as many people singing from the same proverbial song book as possible, so we recommend key frontline influencers sign up as well: employees who are involved in culture committees, employees you’ve identified as potential future management candidates, and employees who are known as being positive forces should sign up as well!
And for many companies, I believe you will realize an enormous benefit and return on investment by ensuring all of your employees gain a deeper understanding of what it takes to contribute to a high-performing culture.
No, you can learn at your own pace and begin as soon as you’ve registered. You have access to all the material for a full calendar year from the time you sign up, longer if you renew your access.
We suggest anywhere from 4 to 12 weeks. We strongly recommend that you commit to a regular learning schedule that is going to work for you. If you don’t create a schedule chances are you won’t complete it; conversely if you try to tackle it all at once you may feel overwhelmed!
There are 12 modules, so it may work well for you to commit to just one module per week for 12 weeks and take your time to really reflect on the material. Or, if time permits, you might tackle 3 modules per week, you can complete the course in 4 weeks.
Although no two businesses are alike, the lessons about building a strong culture, motivating and engaging employees, and delivering outstanding service applies to virtually every imaginable work situation - whether you’re a team of 5 people or an organization of 50,000; whether you’re a government agency, non-profit association, or private business.
And the examples shared in the course run the gamut in terms of size and types of organizations, so although some ideas may not work in your particular situation, we are confident there will be more than enough relevant ideas to work in any situation!
Depending on your professional designation and association, you may earn professional credits. We will be looking to add more professional designations and associations over time - if you feel your professional/association affiliation may be a candidate for accreditation, please let us know!
Because the course has been set up to earn professional learning credits, there are multiple test questions at the end of each module. We also included a quiz because we wanted to help reinforce some key messages.
You will need 60% to pass each module and move on - but you can take the test as many times as needed until you pass! And yes, you will receive a Certificate of Achievement once you’ve completed the course and quiz.
No worries! We offer a 100% money back guarantee within 7 days provided that you have not viewed or completed more than 10% of the course/program.
You bet! I’d be happy to discuss options with you that will work best for you - whether it’s a live onsite presentation, one-on-one or group coaching, or follow-up webinars. I’d also be happy to refer some of my trusted partners to help you with specific needs that I may not be able to help you or your organization with.
The Culture Leadership Academy is a one-stop, comprehensive site designed to help you, your team, and your entire organization take your workplace culture to the next level of success in order to drive outrageous business results.
The results you, your employees, and your customers deserve!
