About Sean
The Culture Engineer
Sean Allen is the founder and CEO of Culture Stick. He works with leaders and organizations on the everyday behaviors that shape workplace culture.
Sean's work starts from a simple belief: culture isn't a poster on the wall. It's what leaders say and do every day — how they communicate, set expectations, give feedback, and develop the people around them.
Before founding Culture Stick, Sean was a customer service instructor at Southwest Airlines, where he also served on the company's Culture Committee. That experience shaped how he thinks about training, service, and the link between how employees are led and how customers are treated.
Since then he has led workshops, keynotes, and coaching for audiences ranging from senior executives to front-line employees, across a wide range of industries. His style is direct and conversational — he'll challenge you, and he'll respect you while he does it.
