Episode Summary
Most organizations reach for a new survey tool, a values refresh, or a round of mandatory trainings when they want culture to change. Mentoring programs, meanwhile, often get written off as nice-to-have — a checkbox with limited real impact. Artimisha Curl, Head of Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Belonging at El Camino Health, proved otherwise: she built a mentoring program grounded in psychological safety that doubled as leadership development, professional development, and culture building all at once — and it’s become one of the highest-ROI moves in her organization. In this episode of Leading Below the Surface, LaTonya Wilkins talks with Artimisha about the pilot program they built together, why most mentoring programs don’t work, and how this one is already reshaping culture at El Camino Health.
