BONUS EPISODE: Culture Check-In with Cortland State Men's Soccer

“You have the culture you want when you know the process is there and you are always building to it. Just know that there never may be a total end result and that you’ve got to consistently have that buy-in and believe in the process every day.”

Neel Bhatacharjee, Binghamton University Head Women's Soccer Coach

I read somewhere that culture is not something you are—it is something you do. But how do you "do" culture? How do you bring a "great" culture into existence? Join me, Matthew Dunn, educator, coach, and soon-to-be organizational psychologist, as I explore the frontlines of culture creation with coaches, managers, academics, and thought leaders. Whether you are leading, following, or somewhere in the middle, this podcast is for all who are curious about how to create, develop, and sustain an intentional culture.
