Shifting Culture with Leadership Through Stillness

Client Profile: Dictees – A B2B services firm with a distributed team across 3 continents, including 80+ mid-level managers.

Challenge: Dictees had implemented top-down mental wellness programs in the past, but engagement was low. Managers felt ill-equipped to support team wellness, often avoiding emotional check-ins altogether.

Solution: Dear Mind facilitated its Leadership Through Stillness program:

• Mid-level leaders were trained to host 10-minute mindful check-ins during weekly team calls.

• Dear Mind certified 24 internal facilitators in calm leadership and emotional guidance.

• Leadership journals and feedback tools were integrated into their workflow.

Results:

• ✅ 68% of managers reported improved confidence in emotional conversations

• ✅ 38% increase in team meetings that included a wellness check-in

• ✅ Cultural feedback surveys showed a 52% increase in perceived psychological safety

• ✅ New hires cited “calm culture” as a top reason for joining

“We saw a shift we can’t quite quantify in spreadsheets—calmer minds, stronger conversations, and a sense that someone truly cares.”— VP Operations, Dictees
