About Celeste Warren

Experience from inside the room

Why this guide exists

Many culture resources focus only on what individuals should do differently. This guide exists to give senior executives the other half: a clear explanation of how systems shape culture, a practical culture audit checklist, and an honest look at organizational culture consulting firms. It also explains the Equity in Action Model in depth.
