Author, Consultant
Randal Weidenaar is the founder of VP Culture. He founded it out of a passion to make organizations what they really should be, a place where business and relationships thrive. His research indicated that when people have healthy relationships it fostered life-giving human thriving and it also fueled business growth. However, when human relationships were made secondary to the bottom line, it destroyed both the people and the bottom line. VP Culture was born to help organizations become people focused on this thriving relational connection.
