What if your team's biggest problem… ISN'T behavior? What if it's belief?

Seriously. Because in this conversation, workplace culture expert Dr. Jessica Kriegel drops one of the most important leadership truths we've heard on DREAM THINK DO in a LONG time:

"People act in alignment with their beliefs." BOOM.

And once you hear her unpack that idea… you'll never think about leadership, accountability, workplace culture, or even your own behavior the same way again.

Jessica is the Chief Strategy Officer at Culture Partners, former VP of Workplace Culture at Oracle, keynote speaker, podcast host, and co-author of the upcoming book Surrender to Lead.

She's spent years helping organizations—from Fortune 100 companies to hospitals to manufacturing plants—transform culture from the inside out.

But what makes this conversation so powerful isn't just the research… It's the honesty.

Because Jessica doesn't just talk about culture. She talks about fear. Control. Burnout. Micromanagement. Faith. Surrender. And the exhausting pressure so many leaders quietly carry every single day.

Including a moment where she made a radically transparent leadership decision during company-wide layoffs… and it completely changed the outcome. (Seriously… this story alone is worth the listen.)

This episode is practical, deeply human, and packed with powerful insights on:

Why most leaders are stuck in "The Action Trap"
How fear quietly shapes workplace behavior
And why surrender—not control—often leads to the BEST results

If you've ever felt overwhelmed trying to lead people, influence culture, or carry responsibility well… this conversation is going to hit home.
