། – _ – ། Nº134 Don't flub your 1:1 before it's begun 🤫 🔣

By Jon Woodroof • Issue #134 • View online

We do 1:1’s weekly at Twotone. It is vital.

But it is sometimes easy to breeze through them. Casually reschedule and even occasionally skip them due to the hustle & bustle each week.

Once things start to feel routine, I feel like that is a good chance to mix things up a bit.

So that’s when titles like: “How to have an honest, effective one-on-one meeting with an employee” catch my eye. Bear with me if you’re rolling your eyes ; )

High-level takeaways of Claire Lew’s awesome article?

🤗 Make empathy your mission. (if this is hard, blame your parents)
😟 ⚡ 😌 Ask questions to uncover two things: tension and energy. So key.
📅 Follow up with a question about what you or the company can do going forward.
👎 Admit what you think you suck at.
🔣 Explain why you need their input.
✌ 🤫 Don’t get defensive. And talk less.

If you’re not doing regular 1:1’s at your work start now & take these tips with you!

As always thank you for reading,

Jon
