FAQs
There are two main on-demand BetterCulture products that chambers utilize to launch new programs in their communities: a leadership curriculum called the On-Demand MindSet Leadership Program; and a professional skills (aka a “Soft Skills”) curriculum called the 20 Tenets of Culture. Both products consist of short on-demand videos (usually 3-5 minutes in length).
Absolutely! Below you will find links to view some sample videos for each of our programs:
Chambers recognize five key benefits from BetterCulture’s content:
- Addresses a Universal Challenge – BetterCulture tackles a critical issue for all businesses: building and sustaining a successful workplace culture, filling a local education gap.
- Proven, Not Theoretical – Developed within a company recognized five times as Omaha’s #1 Best Place to Work, BetterCulture’s content has trained thousands of leaders over the past decade, with 97% rating it as “outstanding.”
- Turnkey & Easy to Implement – Chambers receive everything needed for success, including high-quality study guides, facilitator instructions, and on-demand video content—making it simple for even small chambers to launch programs.
- Appeals to a Broad Audience – The content is applicable across industries and works for everyone, from first-time employees to executive leaders.
- Generates Repeatable Non-Dues Revenue – BetterCulture programs not only add value for members but also create lasting non-dues revenue opportunities through repeatable, adaptable programs.
There are five types of programs chambers can consider launching through this initiative:
Future Leaders Programs – These programs, often called “Future Leaders” or “25 Under 25,” are designed to recognize and develop young community members, even those not yet in the workforce. Chambers can partner with local schools or colleges to recruit participants and seek sponsorship from businesses or economic development entities interested in fostering young talent.
Rising Stars Programs – Geared toward young professionals, this program offers a true development opportunity, focusing on leadership skills rather than just social events. Chambers can engage businesses to nominate up-and-coming employees for an 8-12 month cohort, building a prestigious class for young professionals.
Leadership Programs/Alumni Programs – Whether you’re launching a new leadership program or enhancing an existing one, BetterCulture’s content can add true leadership training to programs typically focused on networking or civic engagement. Additionally, chambers can use the content to create leadership alumni programs, re-engaging past participants.
Leadership Skills Programs – A focused, professional development program offering monthly 90-minute sessions on leadership skills. This model is popular in both larger and smaller communities, providing a streamlined, skills-based approach that requires less time away from work.
Executive Roundtables – Chambers can use BetterCulture’s content to engage executive-level leaders through roundtables or business breakfasts, offering new, valuable programming for this crucial membership segment.
Some chambers are opting to simply gather a group of community members once or twice a month then playing BetterCulture’s videos at their program sessions and facilitating a group discussion. Alternatively, and because the videos are hosted in an online learning platform, many chambers opt for a “flipped” classroom approach where participants watch videos in-between sessions then come to class ready to discuss.
Both products come with a detailed Study Guide and a Facilitator’s Guide, and with other suggested activities to help a facilitator maximize the impact of local programs.
Physical Study Guides are required and are available on Amazon for $15-$20/Guide.
Facilitator’s Guides are available in digital format for free, or you can purchase physical copies for $50/guide (recommended).
If you are utilizing our On-Demand MindSet Leadership Program you can obtain your guides via the following links:
- Study Guides are available for purchase here
- Physical Facilitator’s Guides are not yet available for purchase – BetterCulture will provide your facilitator with a digital copy of this guide once they log-in to our Facilitator training portal.
