Making Culture Stick: The Long Game of Integration

In this episode of Inspiring Conversations, I’m joined by
Linda Carlisle, Fractional Communications and Culture Leader with over two decades of experience guiding companies through mergers, acquisitions, and large-scale change.

We dive into the often-overlooked second wave of integration: culture. Linda explains why culture work doesn’t end with Day One announcements - and why organizations that neglect this long-term process often struggle with retention, morale, and performance.

From legacy culture audits to building new cultural behaviors, we explore how to make integration meaningful, participatory, and even… fun. If you’re navigating change - or planning for it - this conversation is a must.
