How Leaders Reduce Stress and Build a Culture That Performs with Carol Ring

What if the stress you feel is not “too much to do,” but a values misalignment you keep ignoring? Culture strategist and former Rogers Communications Regional President Carol Ring joins Your Partner In Success Radio Host Denise Griffitts to break down why values alignment is the real lever behind healthy performance, strong leadership, and sustainable growth.

Carol shares how to get clear on your personal values, the three practical ways to handle misalignment without selling out, and why copy-pasting another company’s values (even Disney’s) can backfire. You’ll also learn the true cost of values drift inside organizations and how to build values that are authentic, actionable, and actually drive strategy.
