What if every single person in your organization—no matter their title—stepped into a starring leadership role? In this episode of Build a Vibrant Culture, Nicole Greer welcomes Lasada “LP” Pippen, a powerhouse keynote speaker and the author of It’s Just Not Common Sense. Once a computer engineer, LP now inspires audiences with The Climb, his signature keynote that equips leaders and teams with the mindset to rise higher, personally and professionally.

Nicole and LP unpack six powerful principles—Trust, Preference, Perspective, Problem, Moment, and Contentment—that transform the way we lead and the cultures we build. Along the way, they dive into how to replace fear with psychological safety, why principles outlast policies, and how to embrace curiosity, change, and trust at every level of an organization.

If you’re ready to see problems as opportunities, reset your perspective, and build a culture rooted in trust, this conversation is your roadmap to climbing higher and creating a vibrant workplace.

Vibrant Highlights:
[00:02:30] What “leadership at every level” really means
[00:11:15] Trust as the foundation of culture (and why it matters more than love)
[00:20:05] The Preference Principle: freedom to work your way
[00:40:10] The Moment Principle: why “now” is the best timeframe
[00:44:37] Nicole and LP’s final recap of the six principles for building a vibrant culture

ARE SOME OF MY CORE PRINCIPLES.

Name the challenge you're facing in your culture, and I will help you solve it.

From executive coaching, culture-shifting workshops, or long-term partnerships, my work is to help you develop your next leaders.

I was fortunate to learn this early from an exceptional leader. She took an eager, overconfident new hire and developed me into a capable leader.

I went on to lead marketing & training for 80+ sites across the U.S. Later, I went out and got almost every credential in leadership development you’ve heard of. (see the list)

Since that time, I’ve joined organizations in almost every industry to build VIBRANT CULTURES where employees take initiative and true ownership in their work.

Let’s build your leadership development strategy together.
