Can there be a complete overhaul of a toxic work culture?
Meet Kyle McDowell!
Kyle McDowell is a former corporate executive of 3 Fortune 10 firms turned bestselling Author, Speaker, and Leadership expert.
From a tiny cubicle to leading 10s of 1000s of employees at some of the biggest companies in the world, to embarking on his life’s mission: cultivating and inspiring a world of WE-oriented leaders. He is committed to ridding the corporate world of its toxic ways.
Kyle asserts that “The only way to build a Culture of Excellence is to Begin With WE. There is no substitution for conspicuously stating and then aligning on the principles that fuel the organization. The result of this alignment is a team with an unshakable bond and resolve to embrace (and conquer) the biggest challenges in business.”
His bestselling book detailing the 10 WEs, "Begin With WE" has been shared with tens of thousands of people across several organizations. Through these experiences, he learned that what he wanted wasn’t unique. Not only do most people want to have an impact and be recognized for their contribution, people also yearn to be led with authenticity and transparency.
