Culture
Cultural Shift and Gratitude Infusion
|
After feeling burnt out in her personal life and career, our COO Kerry Wekelo recognized that it is impossible to compartmentalize work and home life. Instead, Kerry realized that she could incorporate the wellness principles she utilized at home into her leadership with small, manageable infusions. Kerry implemented our cultural shift by focusing on gratitude, mutual respect, mindfulness, communication strategies, and intentional leadership. Actualize Consulting began winning awards and tour turnover rates went from 33% to consistently being under 4%.

Kerry wrote two leadership books using Actualize Consulting as a case study. Her first title, Culture Infusion: 9 Principles to Create and Maintain a Thriving Organizational Culture, explores the essential components of a supportive and thriving culture. Her second book, Gratitude Infusion: Workplace Strategies for a Thriving Organizational Culture, was written as an ode to her gratitude practice and shares examples of how we infuse gratitude throughout our organization.
Annual Retreat
Our remote work model may give us autonomy, but we do not let distance affect our team connection. Since we are a people-centric organization, we dedicate time to bonding as a team, a community, and individually with virtual luncheons, wellness challenges, social hours, check-in calls, and our annual retreat. Meaningful relationships develop even further when we bring all our offices together for our fun-packed retreat.
