Is Your Team Performing the Culture You Want?

You may not think of yourself as a performer, but as a leader, your presence is always on stage.

In this episode of The Enlightened Executive, Susan Drumm interviews culture and storytelling expert Mike Ganino on the hidden performance behind every company culture. From improv stages to executive boardrooms, Mike reveals how unspoken patterns and leadership presence shape what your team believes, repeats, and trusts.

Together, we explore:

• Why culture is always being performed, whether scripted or not
• How your leadership presence becomes the company's culture cue
• The neuroscience of storytelling and its impact on team engagement
• How to "rehearse" the behaviors and values you want your team to embody
• Simple, actionable ways to lead with more clarity, intention, and impact

Whether you're scaling a team or leading through change, this conversation will challenge you to rethink how you're showing up, and what your team is learning from it.

Don't just manage culture. Lead the one your team performs every day.
