The Best Culture-Change Workshop I Have Experienced

Most leaders talk about culture. Few actually know how to change it.

That’s why I sat down with Steve Gandara of ExcellentCultures.com - a man who’s helped transform organizations like Toyota, Microsoft, and Subway by uncovering the hidden beliefs that drive behavior and implement a data-drive process that produces change (Yes, that's Romans 12:2 but don't spoil the secret).

Steve and I had a super-fun conversation how he achieved all his goals by mid 20's, was depressed and reluctantly said "Ok God, I will go wherever!" (Thinking God would send him to a mud hut.) God's response was, of course, better than you can imagine, and catalyzed the journey that Steve has been on for the last 40 years.

Here’s why this matters to you:

1. Culture = Beliefs That Drive Behavior (and 95% of your beliefs are subconscious).

2. Science is catching up with Scripture—Romans 12:2 is more than spiritual advice; it’s a neuroscience strategy.

3. Transformation is measurable—when you align belief + behavior, results multiply.

This is not theory. It’s what Steve has been doing for over 40 years, and it works.

Experience the Workshop Yourself

In all seriousness, Steve’s Excellent Cultures Workshop is the most effective training I’ve encountered in over 40 years of leadership development. Whether you're a CEO or a young leader, it equips you with tools to shift culture, hear God more clearly, and multiply your impact. This is NOT an overtly Christian event so you could take anyone.

Excellent Cultures Next Workshop: October 7–8 (Plano, TX or Virtual) - Excellentcultures.com/events/

Early Enrollment Discount available before mid-September: Email us for the coupon.

Your culture will transform. The only question is: Will you lead it, or will it lead you?

How to Lead When You Don't Have all the Answers
Have you ever stepped into an assignment and thought, “I have no idea what I’m doing here”? That feeling of being underqualified can make you want to shrink back, try to prove yourself, or wonder whether you heard God correctly. But sometimes the very thing that makes you feel unqualified is what keeps you dependent on Him—and that dependence may be exactly what the assignment requires. Key Tak...
You Don't Have an Employee Problem. You Have a Disciple-Making Problem
What if your employee problem is actually a disciple-making opportunity? As a business leader, it’s easy to focus on hiring, managing, correcting, and rewarding people. But what about intentionally developing them? In our latest conversation with Dave Buehring, founder of LionShare, we explore what it looks like to see the people you lead as part of the stewardship God has entrusted to you. A f...
You Are Part of This
After 15 years of Heaven in Business, one thing is becoming increasingly clear: information alone isn’t enough. We need relationship, discipleship, and people to walk alongside us. Following Jesus in the intersection of faith, family, and business can be messy. There is pressure, conflict, correction, failure, growth, and what Andy calls “covenant friction.” But often, that friction is exactly ...
