Building Radiant Cultures™

Building Teams that Shine from Within

In today’s fast-moving world, high performance isn’t just about hitting targets—it’s about creating a culture where people feel seen, heard, and empowered to lead from who they truly are. Radiant Culture™ is a 90-day workshop experience designed for small businesses ready to build teams rooted in trust, fueled by authentic communication, and led with purpose. Through dynamic sessions, real-world tools, and meaningful reflection, this series helps you unlock the kind of culture where people thrive—and results follow.

The Radiant Culture™ Journey

Phase 1: Laying the Groundwork

Weeks 1–3 Focus: Self-awareness, safety, and alignment

Before you can build a high-performance culture, you have to build the foundation. Phase 1 of Radiant Culture™ kicks off with powerful insights into what makes great teams tick—from values and vision to trust and emotional intelligence. Over three transformational weeks, your team will co-create a shared definition of high performance, uncover hidden culture gaps, and begin strengthening the emotional skills that drive real impact.

🌱 What your team will gain:

• A crystal-clear vision of what high performance really means in your business

• A science-backed understanding of how trust fuels productivity and innovation

• Practical tools to enhance emotional intelligence, empathy, and self-awareness

Phase 2: Cultivating Conversations That Matter

Weeks 4–7 Focus: Communication skills, feedback, and relationships

Culture lives and dies in the conversations we do—or don’t—have. In Phase 2 of Radiant Culture™, your team will develop the essential communication skills that fuel trust, deepen collaboration, and create space for authentic dialogue. This phase goes beyond theory to deliver real-time practice in listening, feedback, and repairing trust when it’s tested.

🧠 What your team will gain:

• Tools to become more present, engaged, and empathetic listeners

• A proven framework for navigating tough conversations with courage and clarity

• Confidence in giving and receiving feedback that motivates—not demoralizes

• Strategies for repairing trust and restoring psychological safety after breakdowns

Phase 3: Leading with Clarity & Courage

Weeks 8-12 Focus: Values-based leadership and sustainable performance

Culture sticks when leadership is shared, values are lived, and progress is celebrated. In Phase 3 of Radiant Culture™, your team will step into a new level of ownership—leading from where they are, aligning purpose with performance, and building habits that sustain results long after the workshop ends. This final phase moves from insight to integration, helping teams lead with intention, courage, and a clear sense of what matters most.

🚀 What your team will gain:

• A mindset shift from job titles to everyday leadership

• Alignment between personal purpose and team performance

• Tools to clarify decision-making, foster accountability, and recognize progress

• A custom Culture Charter to guide the team’s future

Here's what clients say

Sort of like how Morgan Freeman has "the voice" that anyone can listen to, about any topic... So does Ellen. She conveys everything in an engaging way that forces your focus.

Ellen was detailed, thorough, challenged our perspectives, and made a fun and welcoming environment for us!

- Kelsey G.

One of the better presenters I have had. She knows how to read the room, she has a good attitude, good sense of humor, very knowledgeable.

- Janice O.

Ellen does a wonderful job presenting. Her manner is very fluid and effective. Her language feels thoughtful and respectful. She is efficient and keeps things moving, sticking to her overall plan + schedule. She invites feedback and also holds us accountable for participating.

- Luis G.

She was so mindful. I loved how she remembered everyone’s names that she called on and continued to address us by our names during the whole day. She was so intentional of having conversations before and during and after getting to know us.

- Rachel G.

She is great when asked about our current challenges we have with employees and how to handle them. She knows exactly what to say in a professional way in dealing with problems because of her extensive experience in human resources and employee relations.

- Carla B.

Ellen brings exceptional skill as a trainer, facilitator, and coach. Her ability to deliver open and candid feedback created a supportive learning environment that empowered facilitators to both master the content and make it their own.

As a coach, Ellen fosters a space of trust and reflection, allowing others to explore their own questions without jumping in with ready-made answers. Her coaching style encourages deep thinking and personal insight.

As a facilitator, Ellen masterfully balances participant engagement with structure. She weaves in storytelling and real-world examples to anchor learning, while also creating room for interactive exploration.

One of Ellen’s lasting contributions at Fierce was her development of a clear, well-structured approach to training delivery. This helped trainers confidently navigate and internalize the full suite of modules, ensuring consistency and quality across the board.

Ellen is truly exceptional at what she does—her presence puts others at ease, and she consistently elevates those she works with. I highly recommend Ellen Steinlein.
