Description

1-on-1 meetings are one of the most powerful tools leaders have—yet many leaders struggle to make them consistent, productive, or mutually valuable. In this episode, I'm sharing three practical steps to help you create better, more effective 1-on-1s with your team members.

You'll learn:
• Why having a consistent rhythm matters more than you think
• How to transform your 1-on-1s from reporting sessions into working meetings
• Why letting your team member go first changes the quality of the conversation
• The key mindset shift that makes these meetings valuable for both people

Whether you're a new leader or someone looking to tighten up your leadership habits, these three steps will help make your 1-on-1 meetings more meaningful, more productive, and more enjoyable.
