One of the biggest mistakes managers make when starting their 1-2-1s is rushing through small talk and jumping straight to business. It often sounds like this: Manager: Hey, how’s it going? Direct Report: Good, thanks! How about you? Manager: Doing well. So, let’s dive into the project updates. The problem? They’re missing a huge opportunity to build trust by genuinely connecting with their direct report. To help managers do this effectively, NextArrow developed the 3S Communication Framework: Select: Choose a topic to open the conversation. Stick: Ask a few follow-up questions to deepen the discussion. Switch: Redirect naturally to the agenda using a topic-switching question. To make this even easier, we created Phatic Cards—a set of conversation starters designed to help managers connect authentically before getting into business. Check out some of our favorites below! Which one would you use in your next 1-2-1? Let us know in the comments.

Our CEO, Roi Ben-Yehuda, explains why NextArrow emphasizes the virtue of courage in its mission."

Prof. Seth Freeman shares the story of how our CEO, Roi Ben-Yehuda, transformed a negotiation by offering something deeply meaningful, rather than just a material incentive — and how the resulting partnership with our Managing Partner, Robleh D. Kirce, made a lasting impact.

?? CAN YOUR GOALS PASS THE '2 AM' TEST? Jack Welch once said that your direction should be so clear that if you randomly woke an employee at 2 AM and asked, “Where are we going?,” they could answer in a half-sleep stupor. ?? Now, we don’t recommend actually waking up your employees at 2 AM—but the point stands: your goals should be so clear that anyone on your team could recite them half-asleep. Too often, we set vague, noble-sounding goals that don’t translate into action. That’s because clarity isn’t just about having a goal—it’s about having a goal you can articulate with precision. Research on goal-setting theory (Locke & Latham, 1994) shows that specific and challenging goals significantly outperform vague or easy ones by increasing focus, effort, and persistence. ? Bad Goal: “Improve customer experience.” ?? 2 AM-Tested Goal: “Increase our customer satisfaction score from 78 to 85 by Q3.” ? Bad Goal: “Be a better leader.” ?? 2 AM-Tested Goal: “Have biweekly 1:1s with my direct reports and provide real-time feedback at least once per week.” ??? A goal you can’t articulate clearly is a goal you can’t hit. ?? Quick Test: 1?? If woken up at 2 AM, could you clearly state your goal? 2?? Does it define where you’re going and by when? 3?? Could someone else hold you accountable based on what you just said? If not, it’s time to refine it. ?? To learn more, check out our brand-new 'Goal-Setting' workshop, where we help teams and leaders set clear, challenging, and actionable goals that actually drive results. ?? #GoalSetting #Leadership #Productivity #Coaching #GrowthMindset #Clarity

In every situation, there is reality—and then there’s the story we tell about it. Often, it’s that story, not the event itself, that deepens our suffering. Take a simple example: You’re on the quiet car of a train, trying to focus, when someone starts talking loudly on the phone. If it's a young person, you might assume they’re being disrespectful and feel frustrated. If it’s an older person, you may think they simply don’t realize the rule, softening your reaction. The noise level is exactly the same, but your interpretation shifts your emotional response. Epictetus’ lesson is clear: we may not control events, but we do control the lens through which we see them. And when we change the story, we change our experience of the world. How have you reframed a situation recently to shift your perspective?
