Introducing: A Practical White Paper for Organizational Leaders
Studies consistently show that ineffective meetings cost organizations billions annually in lost productivity and employee turnover. For instance, research indicates that over 70% of employees feel meetings are unproductive, and nearly half report that meetings leave them feeling drained. This highlights a critical need to re-evaluate how we gather and collaborate. This white paper is for: – Executive directors, managers, supervisors – Team leads in nonprofits, schools, churches, agencies – Anyone who runs meetings and wants less friction This is not for: – Teams looking for therapy in meetings – Leaders who don’t want to change their meeting structure – Organizations unwilling to name stress honestly
The Meeting is the Intervention...
The STEADY format gives leaders a repeatable way to create psychological safety, engagement, and better outcomes in every meeting. It aligns meetings with how the nervous system works, helping teams move from stress and silence to focus, participation, and collaboration. Whether it's a daily stand-up, a weekly team meeting, or a quarterly strategic planning session, the STEADY principles provide a flexible blueprint.
