🔥 In this powerful episode of The Simone Feiler Podcast, I sit down with culture strategist, speaker, and executive mentor Meredith Wilson - CEO of The People Game and author of Shift: Everyday Actions for Leaders to Shift Culture.

After spending several days together recording her audiobook in our Brisbane studio, I was lucky enough to dive even deeper with Meredith in this chat, covering everything from defining workplace culture to the humorous realities of car parks and office fridges. Meredith shares decades of wisdom gained from working with global leaders and ASX20 companies, making culture simple, actionable, and impactful, even during times of pressure like transformations, acquisitions, and rapid growth.

🎙️ In This Episode, We Discuss:

• What it was like recording the Shift audiobook
• Meredith’s early influences and how her passion for culture began
• What “culture” actually means (and why so many leaders get it wrong)
• Eye-opening stats: why 80% of employees consider culture before accepting a job
• Why culture is not about everyone acting the same (hint: that's a cult!)
• How leaders can balance alignment with individuality
• The GRASS framework: Gatherings, Rituals, Actions, Symbols, and Stories
• Surprising leader reactions when confronted with their own cultural rituals
• Office fridges, car parks, and the hidden status symbols that shape culture
• Breaking the paradox: how to start cultural change without getting stuck
• Gender equity and Meredith’s success achieving 40% female leadership in mining
• Preparing for “the next normal and the never normal”
• How imagination, intuition, and authenticity empower cultural transformation
• Meredith’s heroes, her next book (Leadershift), and upcoming public events

✨ Meredith believes culture doesn’t have to be fluffy or complex—it just needs to be done right. Through her GRASS framework and down-to-earth approach, she gives leaders tools to shape and shift culture in real, sustainable ways.
