Big News from Your Authors

If you’re connected with me on LinkedIn, you may have seen this, but Maddie and I made a huge announcement this week. After five years of running PROPEL, a culture consulting company owned by Blue Cypress, we’ve moved back out on our own! The move is very exciting for us, and if you want more detail, you can read the full post here.

So what does this mean for us? Well, some things are changing. Instead of creating a new consulting company (with a new brand, new website, etc.), the home for our consulting, speaking, and research will simply be JamieNotter.com. That’s been my speaker site for years, and now it’s the everything site.

The consulting will stay the same. We still work with leaders to improve workplace culture, and projects vary, from year-long culture design projects, to one- or two-day staff retreats focused on culture. I also find myself doing a lot of conflict resolution training these days. Side research note: of the 64 measures in our culture assessment, the 2 with the strongest correlation are managing change and managing conflict, so in today’s disruptive environment, I’m not surprised people are looking for conflict training.

That pace of change is positively affecting my speaking business as well. Most of my keynotes lately have been focused on culture’s role in either supporting or thwarting change and disruption, including how it can mess with the successful adoption of AI. If you’d like to discuss a possible keynote on culture, fill out the contact from on the website.

One thing that will change moving forward will be an increased focus on research. Maddie and I have been researching and writing books for 15 years, but we generally kept it behind the scenes, and I’m bringing it forward now. There may even be opportunities for you to participate!

Which brings me to the topic of this newsletter—we’re making a big change.

Maddie and I created this newsletter when Culture Change Made Easy was released, and nearly all of the posts have book related. But it’s 18 months later now, and I don’t know exactly what that is in “book years,” but I think it’s a lot, so we’re putting this newsletter to bed and replacing it with my new Culture Science with Jamie Notter newsletter over on Substack.

We’re moving everyone on this list over to that newsletter, so there’s nothing you need to do; you’ll simply start getting my posts from now on. As always, you can unsubscribe at any time, and your subscription is free. There is a paid tier on Substack that I will be building out in the future (focusing on the research), but the core posts will always be free.

Thanks for staying with us on this journey. Culture Change Made Easy will be a launching pad for the exciting work we’re going to do next, and we’re excited to share it with you.
