CHOOSE YOUR PLATFORM!

Culture Refit is a podcast. A video cast. And a globally connected community of talented workers and professionals. Curious workers across industries who have felt alone or frustrated by the culture they are forced to fit into.

We are interrogating the outdated working culture machine and having fun while doing it. Why not?

The workers of today and tomorrow expect and want more. We have different cultural values; nationalities, generations, ethnicities, sexual orientations, gender identities, religions or no religion, physical/non-physical disabilities and neurodiverse. The current culture fit workplace was designed for a homogenous worker, not designed for the flexibility and cultural agility for us all to thrive and contribute without a rethink.

It is about time! Not with new slogans or worse, expecting senior leaders to have it all figured out, but with real insights, real solutions, real stories and real people.

We invite you to join us on a journey about culture and how we can make it work.

Culture REfit is not here for performative training, but here for the lightbulb moment insights, solutions, tips (dicas!) and tools for you. We are finally centering those workers at all levels that don’t dominate your workplace (not the ingroup), wherever you work. We are sharing the secrets across borders, smashing down the walls and ceilings, so that everyone can navigate, discover and thrive. Finally, your questions about why the ‘great culture’ is not so great for you and your career.

Regardless of what work looks like for you; front lines, remote, for a startup, large multinational or your building the next big idea. If you work with and collaborate across cultural identities, Culture REfit was designed for you.

Come for the thought leaders, authors and guests picking apart everything you always wanted to know about personal culture and workplace culture. Join the conversations on workplace trends. Discover the what how different cultural identities experience the workplace and how we can really make it work from people like you living it every day.

Get your questions answered, learn something new, share your experiences and tips (dicas!) for navigating and thriving.

_ARE YOU WITH US?

Have you ever felt like you have a "work personality"? One that's really difficult to maintain?

You're not alone.

Welcome to the very first episode of Culture REfit, a podcast and global community for everyone who is tired of blending in when they're meant to stand out. We're not here to teach you how to fit into a broken mold. We're here to rethink, reimagine, and re-engineer the workplace so your cultural identity becomes your greatest professional asset.

In this episode, host Carol Watson is joined by cohosts Bruno Lisboa and Shirley Van-Dúnem for an energizing conversation about their personal stories of navigating between cultures, identities, and workplaces that weren't built for them. From growing up in "gray spaces" between cultures, to being a queer Black woman in Lisbon, to bringing Brazilian warmth to a Portuguese workplace, this is a raw, honest conversation about what it really means to belong.

CAROL WATSON

Who’s rewriting the rules of culture, intentional inclusion, and the future of work?

Carol believes you should be part of the movement to rethink culture. More than working with companies, she rewires them. After 25 years as a media/advertising executive, advising global powerhouses, running a cross-cultural talent consultancy and leading inclusion at the world’s largest communications agency, she uncovered a truth most leaders avoid: cultural transformation and performance will be stunted if we don’t understand the changing demographics, values and expectations of today’s own employees.

Enter Culture REfit — Carol’s future-forward playground was created where marketing, culture, systems, and human behavior collide. With experience from The New York Times to Vibe, a master’s in organizational development, and credentials in coaching and intercultural diagnostics, she turns complex cultural dynamics into strategy that actually moves.She’s guided leaders from APAC to Africa, appeared in Adweek and Campaign US, and now explores the edge where inclusion, creativity, and human-centered AI meet.

Her driving question is bold and overdue: What if we stopped forcing people to fit workplaces, and started redesigning workplaces to fit people?

Culture REfit is her answer. And it’s just the beginning.
