🌱 Culture Isn't What You Think It Is. It's What People Experience.
Most leaders want a strong culture.
But here's the challenge: the culture executives describe isn't always the one employees experience.
What if the most valuable conversation isn't about fixing culture—but about seeing it more clearly?
Join executive coach and culture strategist Kristin Chase for a 90-minute PopUpThinkTank exploring how organizations can better understand the lived experience of their people—and why that understanding is the foundation for stronger leadership, healthier teams, and more sustainable business performance.
With more than two decades leading organizational development at Universal Destinations & Experiences and now advising organizations through Chase Talent Development, Kristin has spent her career helping leaders bridge the gap between strategy and everyday reality. Her work spans culture transformation, executive coaching, talent strategy, succession planning, employee listening, and leadership effectiveness—but always begins with curiosity before conclusions.
Together we'll explore:
How might we build cultures that people don't just work in—but genuinely want to help create?
This isn't a webinar, panel, demo, or pitch.
It's a facilitated conversation where 25+ participants work together around one shared challenge. There's no pressure to speak to the full group, and every participant contributes in ways that feel comfortable. By the end of the session, you'll have helped co-create practical insights you'll see reflected in a shared resource after the session—along with new connections, fresh perspectives, and a clearer understanding of how meaningful organizational insight emerges.
Come curious. Leave with ideas you can put to work immediately—and a renewed appreciation for the people who shape culture every day.
Start with a shared challenge—what we’re here to do.
In just a few minutes, Kristin and Maria will create a common starting point—context, tension, ideas, and the real challenge at the center of the conversation.
Move through a series of insight rounds.
Through a sequence of fast-paced conversations, you’ll bring your ideas, instincts, and experience into the room—without the pressure of speaking in front of a large audience.
No pressure to speak in front of everyone.
Leave connected and energized. Walk away with fresh insight, new relationships, and a co-created resource shaped by the people in the room.

HOW IT WORKS
What Is the Format?
Every PopUpThinkTank follows a carefully designed rhythm.
Not rigid. Not overproduced. Intentional.
Participants move through a fast-paced sequence of shared context, small-group conversation, reflection, and collaborative thinking — all designed to create momentum without putting people on the spot.
The experience is structured enough to feel safe, but flexible enough for real insight, creativity, and connection to emerge.
Small breakouts, thoughtful prompts, and tight pacing help conversations move quickly past awkwardness and into genuine engagement. People often tell us the same thing afterward:
“I didn’t expect to feel this energized.”
That’s by design.
Momentum for moments that matter.
30+ Thinkers. 90 Minutes. 100s of Ideas & Connections. 1 Shared Challenge.
Experiences that build communities around entrepreneurs and projects that solve problems and make a difference.
