Who would you say has the most significant impact on your workplace culture? Is it your manager or leadership? Is it your HR? Or is it someone else? Today, we are talking with author and psychologist Dr. Paul White about how you can increase your impact and become a positive cultural influence in your workplace TODAY! 

As a Psychologist, Dr. Paul White is more about the practical than the theoretical. His first book, The Five Languages of Appreciation in the Workplace, is all about training up leaders and colleagues that prioritize encouragement and appreciation in the work environment.  This book aims to reform the standard employee recognition programs that only use “employee of the month” or “commissions” into customizable, consistent messages of appreciation for each employee, ultimately creating a sense of purpose in work. 

His next book, Rising Above a Toxic Workplace, describes what unhealthy work environments look like, how to survive them, and how to address the issues in a healthy way. Finally, Dr. White wrote, The Vibrant Workplace, which talks about creating and developing a more positive workplace from the bottom-up! 

Tune in to this power-packed broadcast to hear more about how you can help create a culture of employee appreciation in the workplace!

What will people say about you when you’re gone? Join us to hear from Dayspring executive Stephen Bos about how your personal brand can impact your ability to live out your faith at work. Straight from the company’s headquarters in Arkansas.

Early on in his business career, Stephen viewed faith and work (aka money and Christian ministry) as an “either or” rather than a “both and.” But God changed his heart through discipleship – revealing that faith and work are not only compatible but inseparable!

So how exactly do you bring your faith into your workplace? One way is through intentionally creating a personal brand!

Dayspring believes in the use of “brand pillars” – attributes that when someone interacts with their company, they walk away with a certain set of impressions. Stephen believes that brand pillars can be used in all areas of life – including your personal brand.

Sounds cool… but what exactly IS a personal brand? Well, it’s what you bring to the table wherever you are and with whoever you interact with. It is what someone would say about you at you’re funeral or after meeting you for the first time.

Take a moment today and ask yourself, when people interact with you, what do they come away thinking and feeling? Are you a person of stability? Of excellence? Of grace? Of intentionality? Do you have the qualities a good leader should have? Do you find purpose in work? Are you a positive cultural influence?

Who’s leading YOUR leadership? Today we hear from Cal Zant, the President of Betenbough Homes, and Jeanna Roach about what it takes to lead a true Kingdom Business and how their business mindsets were transformed by the Holy Spirit. Tune in to this power-packed powerpod find out how you can develop the same qualities of a good leader in yourself and others!

Years ago, when Cal interviewed for an engineer position with Betenbough Homes, he knew something was different about the company. Jeanna says she had the same experience when she interviewed for a PR representative position. Both Cal and Jeanna felt instantly that the environment, the attitude, the values, and the mission at Betenbough Homes cultivated employee appreciation, purpose in work, and a culture of joy. Simply put – Batenbough Homes genuinely cared about its people.

How did they do it? By looking at their business as a Christian ministry – not just a business that supports Christian ministry. According to Cal, all the true qualities a good leader should have, begin with being a good follower of God. By listening to God’s voice in their business and loving their employees in their everyday lives, Betenbough Homes has created a powerful example of a biznistry. 

For more information about leadership resources that you can use to help turn your business into a biznistry - listen to today’s show and check out Kingdom Leadership Workshops.

Hear the inspiring story of Fellowship of Companies for Christ International (FCCI), a pioneer organization in the Faith and Work Movement. Founded 44 years ago, FCCI asked the question, “what would it look like to apply biblical principles to business, and how would it impact the world for God’s glory?”

Taped on location from D.C. at the Impact Summit, one of FCCI’s founders, Bobby Mitchell, recalls meeting Stanley Tam, the Christ-loving CEO of U.S. Plastic, in May of 1980. At the time, Tam said that his goal was to bring five people to Christ each day, donate two million dollars annually, and plant churches internationally. Today, the business Stanley Tam built has generated more than $140 million towards the work of the Lord. It was this conversation that awoke Mitchell to the kind of Kingdom impact that businesses could have if they collaborated. Imagine thousands of companies like Tam’s, all dedicated to hearing God’s voice and fulfilling God’s purposes!

According to Chad Merrill, the current CEO of FCCI, their vision is to transform the world through Christ, one business owner at a time. They do this by equipping and encouraging business owners to live lives of cultural influence through biblical business practices, generosity, service, and stewardship. Ultimately, FCCI believes that God owns it all, and we are entrusted with resources to further His glory, not ours. It is from this place of stewardship that business owners are finding purpose and fulfillment at work.

To hear Bobby Mitchell’s story and more about what FCCI is doing for faith-led businesses worldwide, listen now.
