Break Barriers, Build Trust: Leadership at Every Level with Lasada Pippen

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.
