Three days. One coherent ethos. A leadership team aligned on what they stand for — and a culture their people can actually feel.
Values get written in a boardroom, printed on a poster, and quietly forgotten. Three years later, nobody remembers them — and if they do, the daily reality of the organization doesn't match what's on the wall.
The Ethos Workshop is not a values refresh exercise. It is an immersive process that helps your leadership team get honest about the gap between the culture you declare and the culture your people actually experience — and then build a framework to close it.
The result is not a new set of words. It is a living ethos that shapes how you hire, how you lead, how you recognize people, and how you make decisions — long after the workshop ends.
The Ethos Workshop is most powerful when:
Before the workshop begins, we conduct a structured discovery process with your leadership team — understanding your history, your current culture, the gaps, and what you want to become. The workshop is built around what we learn.
An honest reckoning with where the organization is today. Structured exercises surface the gap between what your culture claims to be and what your people actually experience. Every voice is heard.
Building a values framework that is specific, memorable, and operationally grounded. Not generic words — behaviours, principles, and commitments your people will recognize in how they're led every day.
A concrete plan to bring the new ethos to life across the organization — equipping leaders to embed it in how they hire, recognize, communicate, and make decisions. The work doesn't end when the workshop does.
A documented mission, values, and guiding principles framework that is specific to your organization — not borrowed from a template. Built to be used, not archived.
A professionally curated culture video used to launch the new ethos and bring employee attention to your refreshed values. Designed for your all-hands, your intranet, and your onboarding.
A practical plan equipping your leaders to embed the ethos in how they hire, lead, recognize, and make decisions — so the culture shift outlasts the workshop.
Winnifred and her co-facilitator are available as keynote speakers at your culture launch — whether that's an all-hands, an anniversary event, or a leadership summit.
Organizations that want to go deeper can pair the Ethos Workshop with the People-First Leader coaching program — embedding the new ethos at the individual leadership level.
Culture work doesn't end at the offsite. We offer ongoing advisory support to help your leadership team stay accountable to the ethos they built together.
Working with Winning Culture Consulting Group was a transformative experience for our organization. Winnie and Nevin brought professionalism, expertise, humour, and a genuine commitment to fostering a positive culture — guiding our senior leadership through well-structured exercises that helped us thoughtfully redefine our core purpose and guiding principles. Their inclusive and energizing approach ensured every voice was heard. The impact was evident across the company — a December survey revealed high employee confidence and alignment with our updated values. The engagement culminated in a powerful keynote at our 20th anniversary celebration that inspired both leadership and staff. I highly recommend Winning Culture Consulting Group to any organization seeking to revitalize its mission, strengthen its values, and build a culture of engagement and excellence.
