Hi, I’m Damon Klotz.

I believe we're one conversation away from changing the rest of our lives.

That conversation might be with a colleague, a partner, or someone you've been avoiding for years.

At work, it's the same truth at scale. Culture isn't built in town halls or values decks. It's shaped one conversation at a time.


My Story

I joined Culture Amp as employee #9 and spent a decade helping it become the global category leader in employee experience. I launched their award-winning community strategy, co-created the Culture First Conference, and hosted the Culture First podcast—ranked in the top 1% globally. The data could tell leaders how their people felt. It couldn't start the conversations that would change it.

Beyond Culture Amp, I've held senior executive roles in ASX100 companies and government departments.

Along the way, I sat down with Esther Perel, Simon Sinek, Seth Godin, Priya Parker, Amy Gallo and Dr. Marcus Collins. Each time, it came back to the same thing: a culture is only as good as the conversations inside it.

Today I partner with Esther Perel on her workplace relationships work, and helped bring Where Should We Begin at Work to life — a card game that helps colleagues finally meet each other.

My work is personal, too. I co-founded Spur Projects, a decade-long social enterprise in male suicide prevention, built around helping men have the conversations they weren't having.

Now I work with leaders and teams through keynotes, hosted conversations and advisory. Recent rooms include Airbnb, Netflix, McLaren F1, Salesforce, Patagonia, Dropbox, Canva, Nasdaq and Major League Baseball. My work has taken me from San Francisco and New York to London, Paris, and Sydney—and now home to Melbourne. And I keep the conversation going on One Conversation, my podcast and newsletter.
