Create a courageous and connected team culture.
Build a high-performing culture that drives employee engagement, innovation, collaboration, productivity, retention and growth.
Most culture change efforts fail.
The key to a lasting, healthy work culture isn’t companywide initiatives – it’s created when leaders are given a methodology to handle the high-pressure moments their team faces.
- The initiative is too big and relies too heavily on senior leaders and HR.
- It costs too much money.
- The initiative is not connected to company strategy.
- Leaders are not given tools to change culture on their own team.
- The initiative is too big and relies too heavily on senior leaders and HR.

Last 8%
Culture
System
Our research-based system for building a connected and courageous team culture for senior leadership, managers, and non-managers.
Phase 1:
Build Culture
The half-day Building a Last 8% Culture program is where leaders will learn how to take charge and own the culture on their team through high-care and high-accountability.
Senior leaders will explore how to bring in culture and leadership skills to elevate the organization to the next level of performance and execution. Delivered with a blend of insights and tools this program will teach leaders how to assess, own, and model a Last 8% Culture on their own team.
Phase 2:
Develop Emotional Intelligence
Leaders will deepen their own skills in our Science of Emotional Intelligence program, focusing on building the first pillar of a Last 8% Culture: connection and psychological safety.
In this program, leaders will learn to recognize the power of self-awareness and how it impacts leadership potential, apply techniques to skillfully manage one’s emotions when under pressure, and employ strategies to connect with the emotions that drive the behavior of others.
Phase 3:
Lead Last 8%
Conversations
The Last 8% Conversations program will focus on the second pillar of a Last 8% Culture: how to step in, do ‘hard things’ and be courageous.
In this program, leaders will learn how to prepare for difficult conversations in a skillful way and navigate the emotions that prompt us to avoid Last 8% Conversations. They will use this framework to inspire their team to be more courageous, and skillfully step into having the conversations needed to build a Last 8% Culture.
Phase 4:
Establish Culture
Once people leaders have learned the key skills and are starting to model the behaviors of a Last 8% Culture, the unique 4-Week Sprint brings it all together. This will give your people leaders the ‘platform’ to own the culture on their team. In this way, culture is built by design, not by default. This is done very concretely, by leaders and their teams, team by team, cascading through all levels of the organization.
To prepare for the 4-Week Sprint, senior as well as people leaders will engage in a 2-hour virtual session, where they will discuss and agree on a concrete ‘to-do’ approach. Each team then puts our Last 8% weekly process into practice, integrating everything they’ve learned so far to establish a highly connected and courageous Last 8% Culture.
“We’ve trained more than 500 leaders in IHHP’s program, and they consistently get some of the best feedback of any training we deliver. Leaders tell us it has helped them improve their relationships up, down and laterally across the organization. It’s a core framework for how to connect and engage people, how to have difficult conversations and shape team culture. It’s even more relevant today than when we started working with IHHP in 2016. IHHP’s facilitators are also top notch. They are truly experts in the content and at engaging an audience and connecting with people in the classroom or virtually.”
