The 1:1 that isn’t a status update
The most frequent conversation you have as a manager, and almost nobody was taught how to run it.
  • A thirty-minute shape that holds when the week is busy
  • Questions that get a real answer instead of “fine”
  • A five-minute prep card to print, one per person

Why feedback doesn’t land

  • Why the same words land from one person and bounce from another
  • Same point, better odds: worked rewrites of common feedback
  • An honest audit of how much feedback you actually receive

The difficult conversation planner
One page, filled in before you walk in. For the conversation you have been carrying since last Tuesday.
  • Separates what you observed from what you concluded
  • Makes you write down your prediction before the event
  • A five-minute review for afterwards, while it is fresh
