What is Company Culture? | Isaac Tolpin 003
Some of you here already know that I have 12 staff members, who are all super friendly and amazing in their own unique ways. But what exactly is organizational culture? Let’s dive into that today with Isaac Tolpin.
“Culture drives all the metrics you probably care about.” – Isaac Tolpin
Transforming Company Training
Isaac is a tech entrepreneur, who is on a mission to help brands align their training with human behavior. He’s run large and small organizations. He’s also helped transform the training programs of celebrity influencers and companies.
His success comes from understanding the relationships between business, human behavior, and technology.
What Company Culture Is
People sometimes ask what culture means. They think that they’re already doing it and that they are driving it already. But unless they define it, unless they measure it by some form of standards, they often ignore it.
“Culture is the ethos of an organization. It is the behavior, social norms, and unwritten rules that exist within people.” – Isaac Tolpin
According to him, every organization has a culture. It drives organizations forward and helps retain staff members. The key is to be constant with the kind of culture that you want to uphold.
When you fail to identify and move forward with your culture, you are digressing it. There are no in-betweens in culture. Culture is either getting better or getting worse.
An Inseparable Tandem
Organization leaders, as Isaac shares, cannot create a culture that is different from who they already are. Their everyday behaviors reflect the kind of culture they have. They will look like a hypocrite if they do something different.
“If you don’t know your culture, you don’t know who to say ‘No’ to.” – Isaac Tolpin
Likewise, you cannot create a culture that does not already exist in your leadership. You cannot move forward with something different from your real self.

About Jaime Jay
Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.
Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.
He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.
When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.
He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.
He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

Their team has played a vital role in helping us staff our customer support and ensuring our customers were satisfied with our services. Their Distant Assistants were extremely helpful in answering inquiries promptly, handling complaints, and providing solutions to our customers' needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication skills are exceptional. Working with Bottleneck has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and efficient virtual assistant, especially for customer support.

Jeff Peñaflor2022-09-14I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!
Tinoe D2022-09-09I don't remember the last time I loved what I was doing until Bottleneck came into the picture. I love working for bottleneck, they are professional. The management makes the workplace fun and they're very flexible. I definetly recommend that you make that important switch and be part of something big today by joining BNDA.
Michael Goodcliffe2022-09-09Jaime and his team are incredible at what they do! Joining them has been one of the best decisions in my life! I whole heartedly recommend them to anyone who are looking to scale and improve their business. Their highly 'Dedicated Distant Assistants' are well trained. They are top notch!
GM Simon2022-09-08Working with Bottleneck is not just having one or two assistants working alongside you. You have the support of the whole team behind them as well.
Ma. Edeliza Silot2022-09-07Aside from the knowledge gained, the trainers are highly commendable.
Sara Knox2022-09-07What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
