Description

💭What's the vibe at your workplace? Is it energizing—or just… meh? 😬

In this episode, Kristi is joined by Zach Blumenfeld & Nick Lombardino, co-founders of CultureCon, to break down why workplace vibes matter and how they impact culture, leadership, and engagement.

They talk about how to create a culture people actually love, the real reason return-to-office mandates feel so bad, and why workplace energy can make or break your day.

Zach and Nick have built a community of culture champions, and their insights (plus some laughs) will have you rethinking how you show up at work.🚀

Key Takeaways:

• Culture is energy. A "vibe" is workplace culture elevated. It's what makes people feel excited or drained at work.
• Leadership matters. A great leader can create an incredible work environment, while a bad one can tank morale and engagement.
• People crave autonomy. The biggest issue with return-to-office mandates isn't just location—it's a perceived loss of trust.
• Connection fuels culture. Whether remote or in-person, people need community and human interaction to thrive.
• Culture is co-created. The best workplaces don't just talk about values—they build them with their employees.
