Wellbeing isn’t an initiative. It’s a culture.

We help leaders build environments where people and performance thrive.

If any of these questions feel uncomfortably familiar, you’re not alone. These conditions don’t change by accident — they are shaped by leadership, values, and the way work is designed.

Every organisation has a culture.  Not all cultures support people to do their best work.

  • What do people actually experience day to day in your organisation — and what’s shaping that experience?

  • Do your leaders understand how their behaviours influence people’s performance day to day?

  • Do people feel safe to speak up, challenge decisions, and admit mistakes — without fear of judgement or consequence?

  • Does your culture actively enable performance — or quietly get in its way?

  • Do people have the autonomy and trust they need to do their best work?

  • Are your values lived through everyday language, decisions and behaviours — or mainly visible on walls and websites?

  • If you asked your people these questions, would their answers match yours?

Meet the Cultura Creators

Founded by Sarah Bean and Elaine Glynn, Cultura brings together 60+ years of real-world leadership, commercial strategy, and workplace wellbeing expertise. At Cultura Consulting, we believe that culture and wellbeing aren’t side projects - they are fundamental to how great organisations thrive.

We operate at the intersection of leadership, culture and organisational performance - partnering with organisations to shape the conditions where people and results can be sustained over time.

We’re not just advisors - we are trusted partners in change.

About Sarah
About Elaine

We’ve seen first-hand that when the conditions for good work are in place — clarity, trust, fairness, and psychological safety — performance follows.

That’s why we support HR and leadership teams to move beyond good intentions and address what is really shaping how work is led and experienced day to day.

Our work combines evidence-based insight with practical change support, helping organisations align leadership behaviour, culture, and ways of working with their strategic goals.

Some of the Brands we have worked with…

Feedback that Fuels us

  • Sarah has brought real strategic insight, energy, and generosity of spirit to her role with Common Purpose Ireland. As a member of our Strategy Steering Committee, she combines clarity of thought with a strong sense of purpose — always prepared, engaged, and ready to challenge constructively. Her input on marketing and communications has also been invaluable, and her enthusiasm for supporting our team is felt and appreciated by everyone she works with.

    Dara Connolly, CEO Common Purpose Ireland

  • “Elaine has a rare ability to combine creativity and idea generation along with the project management skills and attention to detail that gets things done. Elaine is a true all-rounder combining roles as knowledge expert in wellness and health promotion, project manager, trainer, advocate, media spokesperson and strategist.”

    John McCormack, ex-CEO Irish Cancer Society

  • “Working with Sarah during her time as General Manager at Coty Ireland was a real privilege. She combined strong commercial instincts with an inclusive, people-focused leadership style that inspired real loyalty and performance. Her ability to grow the business while building a strong, values-led culture made a lasting impact — on the team and the wider organisation.”

    Brian Riddick, Ex GM Coty UK&I

  • “Elaine’s attention to detail and acceptance of only the best has been a hallmark of her work with us at Beacon HRM – in all her roles – be they Wellness, Training or Quality Assurance. Feedback from our clients regarding Elaine’s work has been exemplary. I cannot recommend her highly enough.”

    Kenneth Glynn, Senior Director (Europe) Beacon HRM Group

  • After five years serving on Leinster Rugby's Inclusivity committee, Sarah stepped into the Chair role of the EDI Committee and immediately brought focus, energy, and clarity. She doesn’t just talk about inclusion — she led the creation of our three-year strategy and worked closely with committee members to bring it to life.

    Karl O'Neill, Chair Rugby Committee Leinster

  • “Elaine’s a creative problem-solver who brings out the best in others. Elaine was authentic and open about her ideas and concerns, yet she was willing to listen to and learn from other team members, not to mention keeping us all in stitches with her wonderful, self-deprecating sense of humour! As a person, she is such a wonderful mixture of smart, kind, warm and funny.”

    Jenny Ryan, Psychologist, MPCSD

  • Elaine brings a rare blend of deep expertise in health promotion and a laser-sharp ability to turn strategy into action. I’ve seen first-hand how she can take a wellbeing framework and translate it into a programme that actually works in the real world — always with evidence behind it and care at the core. Her professionalism, clarity, and delivery skills make her someone you want on your team when you need something done right, and done well.
