Discover where your culture stands, and how to close the gap.

Unclear communication, low trust, and quiet disengagement often reveal a hidden Civility Gap™, the space between what your organisation says it values and how people actually behave.

The Civility Health Check™ is a free 5-minute self-assessment designed to help individuals and organisations uncover their current civility stage and identify the next steps to strengthen communication, trust, and collaboration.

Inside you’ll get:

✔ A quick self-assessment based on The Civility Gap Model™

✔ Your current Civility Stage, from Unaware to Integrated

✔ Tailored next steps to strengthen respectful communication and accountability

✔ A downloadable roadmap with leadership and culture insights

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
