Is your 1:1 a conversation or a status update?

Is your 1:1 a conversation or a status update?

Status updates can live in a shared doc or project tracker.

Save the face-to-face time for bigger questions.

Try asking:

✔️ What's taking more of your energy than it should right now?

✔️ Where are you stuck?

✔️ What do you need from me that you're not getting?

✔️ What would you like to be doing more of?

A 1:1 isn't a meeting about the work.

It's a meeting about the person doing it.
