High-Performing Culture Programs
As a leader, you create your culture by design or by default. Your culture is either your biggest asset or your biggest liability.
Alex Pursglove walks alongside leaders to provide comprehensive tools and programs that co-create sustainable, values-driven cultures designed to:
- increase engagement
- elevate performance
- and thus, enhance the bottom line
The programs are tailored for each organization and may include culture assessments, unpacking sessions, workshops and executive coaching sessions.

The culture of an organization is a reflection of the values, beliefs and behaviors of its leaders.
As a Culture Consultant and Executive Coach, Alex works with leaders to provide comprehensive tools and programs in order to co-create sustainable, values-driven cultures designed to:
- increase engagement
- elevate performance
- enhance the bottom line
High-performance cultures must be created and sustained over time. They are vision-guided, values-driven, mission-focused, adaptable, resilient, and they instill vulnerability-based trust, values-alignment and a solution-focused orientation among team members.
Consciously building a high-performing culture will ensure that you tap into your greatest asset: Your People.
What do the Culture Transformation Programs include?
Pace’s programs utilize Cultural Transformation Tools (CTT), in partnership with the Barrett Values Centre, and the Pace Success Coaching approach of tailoring all programs based on each individual client’s needs.
The CTT assessment tools provide one of the most detailed and comprehensive cultural diagnostics and values assessment instruments commercially available. They offer powerful metrics that enable leaders to measure and manage culture by evaluating what is working and where growth is needed.
The program provides any size organization or team with a simple-to-understand current and desired state analysis and a clear path forward to creating a culture development plan that will help you leverage your people and improve results.
The Benefits of Cultural Transformation Tools
CTT makes the intangible tangible! The CTT online surveys provide organizations with powerful metrics which enable leaders to actively measure and manage culture. Mapping the values of an organization’s culture provides a detailed roadmap for building high performance and sustainability.
The real power of the CTT surveys is that they produce a diagnostic to inform meaningful dialogue about culture and leadership capacity within a simple-to-understand framework that makes it clear what values and behaviors are supporting and undermining workplace performance.
Every CTT assessment and subsequent dialogue is followed up with cultural development action plans, to ensure tangible steps follow the expressed desired improvements.
The tools are designed for individual leaders, targeted teams (20 members or less) or for the entire organization (up to 30,000 employees). Uniquely, the surveys only take 10 – 15 minutes to complete!
“Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” – Peter Drucker
Culture is the ongoing, social environment of an organization which impacts the employee experience and its financial growth.
At the end of the day, people are loyal to culture over strategy. A dysfunctional culture will ruin a great team and a great strategy.
Strong, vibrant cultures that are vision-guided and values-driven create high levels of performance because they attract and keep talented people and they inspire employees to go the extra mile.
Culture has the greatest influence over:
- The ability to attract, engage, and retain talented people.
- The ability to build high-performance and sustain resiliency.
- Your long-term, big picture results for your organization
An organization’s culture has the greatest influence on employee engagement and fulfillment. In today’s world, the employee experience is fundamental to long-term sustainable success.
According to a recent Gallup poll:
- 33% of employees in the U.S. are engaged in their jobs
- The remaining 67% are under-performing and under-fulfilled in their jobs
Did you know that:
- 5% increase in employee engagement is linked to a …
- 3% increase in revenue growth in the subsequent year?
A thriving organizational culture is proving to be a necessity for a thriving business. Culture is driving the engagement of your workforce, the satisfaction of your customers, the level of attraction you have to talent, and your bottom-line numbers.
When you decide to invest in the culture of your organization, you simultaneously invest in the people who care about it (your employees, customers, and partners) and move one step closer to being in alignment with the fulfillment of your organization’s purpose.
No organization has the same culture or structure. Thus, Alex uses her understanding of the fundamental principles of leadership and culture development to co-design her programs with you to meet your specific needs. She is committed to working with you to deepen your ability to consciously manage your greatest intangible asset.

Available Assessments
The values-based culture assessments are available for both targeted teams and organizations.
The assessments provide a diagnostic to inform meaningful conversations about the current and desired culture within a simple-to-understand framework. Through the dialogue, leaders will determine what values and behaviors are supporting and undermining performance, followed by creating detailed action plans for desired improvement areas.
The assessments are completed through online-surveys and only take 10-15 minutes to complete! They are customizable, cost-effective, quickly turned around, and responses can be anonymous to ensure open feedback.
Assessments are broken down into:
- Small Group Assessment (SGA) for teams/organizations of 20 or less. If desired, the SGA can add-on individual assessment results (IVAs) for each participant.
- Cultural Values Assessments (CVA) for teams/organizations of 21 – 30,000. If desired, the CVA can be customized to break down results by department/position.
This assessment is used for measuring an individual’s highest priority values and how he/she is experiencing the current culture at his/her organization. This tool guides an individual to understand what is important to him/her in his/her life and what changes are necessary to find personal fulfillment at work.
This assessment is completed through an online-survey and only takes 10-15 minutes to complete!
IVA results can also be included within Team Culture Assessments.
This Leadership Development Assessment (LDR) is used for measuring an individual leader’s style. The 360-degree feedback is designed to uncover a leader’s blind-spots and provide insights into their strengths as well as areas for growth and development.
The LDR is an online survey that takes only 10-15 minutes for assessors to complete. It is recommended that a leader receive survey responses from 12 – 25 assessors.
The LDR will be analyzed with your coach to highlight key strengths and development areas and is debriefed in a three-hour feedback session. Together, the leader and coach develop a detailed action plan to improve the performance of the leader.
