A Monday Meeting Worth Looking Forward To: Energy Through Culture

We’re three months into the business year, and I’m starting to hear a familiar refrain from business owners: 

“My team is doing fine—but something’s missing.” 

That spark they felt at the annual kickoff has fizzled. Monday meetings feel more like to-do lists than moments of connection or excitement.

The challenge

It’s easy to slip into routine mode: checking off tasks, keeping projects moving, handling what’s in front of you. 

But when all the focus stays on the to-do list, work can start to feel repetitive and transactional. One task down, on to the next. 

Before long, the bigger picture starts to fade into the background.

The approach

Don’t just talk about what to do. Have conversations about how you do it. 

That “how” is your culture. 

It’s what shapes decisions, teamwork, and the way people show up every day. 

At your next weekly meeting, talk about what your company culture means in action and how it guides your work. Remind your team that they matter as much as the work they do.

The result

People are more than the sum of their actions, and that matters. 

In your weekly meetings, instead of asking “What did you do?” & “What will you do next?”, try asking, “What got better this week?” & “What do you need to keep making progress?” Those small shifts will open richer conversations.
