Culture in business is simply how things are done—sometimes healthy, sometimes toxic.
How do you know the difference, and what can you do if you’re in the middle of it?
Today I’m joined by Jen Brooks, founder of Anchored and Assured and a former nurse and now a speaker promoting living life and work through teaching the Bible.
She’s experienced toxic workplaces firsthand and now helps people anchor their identity in God’s Word.
Jen shares how to recognize a toxic culture, what leaders can do to change it, and how to thrive when God has you in a tough place.
We talk about:
- The difference between a bad culture and a toxic one
- Why leaders must look at themselves first if they want change
- The damage of tolerating “high performers” who hurt people
- How remembering your identity in Christ changes your outlook
- A simple story of obedience that opened the door for ministry
