An Australian voice, a London base, a global mission.
Shane spent a decade building one of Australia's most trusted voices on leadership and team culture, then moved to London to take the work global. Two years, thirty cities and thirteen countries later, his focus is singular: equipping the people leaders who actually carry culture, the ones in the engine room of every team, to build it on purpose one conversation at a time.
For years, Shane sat with the people who actually hold teams together: the people leaders most culture advice quietly forgets. The same truth kept surfacing. Culture was never really built in a boardroom or printed on a wall. It was built, or slowly eroded, in the everyday conversations these leaders were having. Or the ones they were avoiding.
Almost none of them had been shown how. They had been handed a team and told to build a great culture, without the words, the structure, or the confidence to actually do it. Not because they didn't care. Most cared deeply. It was because no one had ever made it practical.
So Shane went looking for the answer in the research, sitting with leaders on the ground until a pattern emerged: five conversations that turn good intentions into a team people don't want to leave. That became Let's Talk Culture, the book that went on to become a bestseller and win the backing of voices like Michael Bungay Stanier. But the question he kept hearing back wasn't what should I say. It was: how do I actually run this with my team?
This toolkit is his answer. Everything he would teach a room of leaders across a day, the conversations, the facilitation, the small moments that make it land, built into something any leader can pick up and run. You don't need to be a culture expert. You just need to be willing to start the conversation. Shane has built the rest.
It is the work he cares about most. Which is why, even now, he still reads every message that comes through this platform himself.
“This book shows you the conversations you need to spark the behaviour you want to create the culture you desire.”
The Let's Talk Culture Offsite Toolkit puts Shane's method in your hands, ready to run.
