Weekly, and most all, staff meetings start with a “Presence Check-In.” Team members share how present they are on a scale of 1 to 10. 1=tuned out, unmotivated and 10=engaged, excited. There is both no judgment and room to share more. This is followed by “Weekly Kudos;” team members take turns acknowledging each other’s contributions, especially ways they received support. This is always positive and often heartfelt. Following project updates, we end with a discussion of our company values (integrity, evidence-based, collaborative, creative, thoughtful, and responsive). Everyone selects a value they particularly resonate with that week and explains why.
