Ep. 44 - Turning Organizational Values Into Daily Actions w/ Dr. Syard Evans

Nate Beers

It’s one thing to have values on the wall—it’s another to see them come to life in day-to-day decisions, especially on the frontlines. In this episode, Dr. Syard Evans returns to share how her team at Arkansas Support Network builds real values alignment across the organization—not through posters, but through clarity, consistency, and trust.

She gives a peak behind the curtain and it's still a work in progress--but they are seeing moments of transformation. Not just for those they serve, but also for their direct support staff.

We talk about what it takes to move from abstract ideals to measurable expectations, and why frontline staff don’t have to “feel” the values to still embody them. If you’ve ever wondered how to get your culture to show up in daily practice, this one’s for you.
