“What you are not changing, you are choosing.” - Chris Dyer

Chris Dyer breaks down how to build a strong company culture in remote and hybrid teams using simple, repeatable practices—especially around meetings, team norms, recognition, and psychological safety. You’ll leave with concrete tools (meeting audits, team charter, feed forward) to improve engagement and performance. 

Key Takeaway Insights and Tools 

• Run a quarterly “meeting audit.” Cut unnecessary meetings, shorten the rest, and fix attendance—meetings shouldn’t eat productivity. (00:12:52) 
• Create a team charter (“rules of engagement”). Decide where you collaborate (Slack/Teams/email), response expectations, and boundaries. (00:14:29) 
• Name meeting types to create clarity. Named formats tell people purpose, roles, optional vs mandatory, and “how to show up.” (00:19:23) 
• Use “Feed Forward” for hard conversations. Ask for a specific future behavior instead of criticizing the past—less defensiveness, more change. (00:24:15) 
• Remote culture check-in: “How are you showing up?” + “How are you leaving the meeting?” It surfaces reality, builds empathy, and confirms whether alignment is real.
