The premise
To understand a system, watch what gets rewarded.
Not what gets announced. Not what's written on the wall. Not what leadership says matters. What gets rewarded. The gap between the two is where culture actually lives.

Booking starts with a short note — team, group size, and the issue you want to audit.
Top Down is an educational workshop and organizational reflection tool. It is not HR advice, legal advice, compliance review, clinical care, or workplace investigation.

Leadership teams, schools, healthcare, creative orgs.
Startups, nonprofits, manager training, culture repair — anywhere the stated culture and the rewarded behavior have drifted apart.
