How to make the most of your one-on-one meetings!
For sure! One-on-one meetings are pretty cool for getting stuff done and staying in the loop. If you're the one going into the meeting, it's a good idea to have some notes or stuff you want to chat about ready to roll.
And hey, set some goals for the meeting. What do you want to get out of it? Maybe it's feedback, sharing your wins, or sorting out some roadblocks.
Be a good listener too. It's not just about you talking. Pay attention to what the other person is saying, and if you're not sure about something, ask questions.
Remember to give a shout-out to your achievements, and don't be afraid to ask for feedback. It's all about growth, right?
If there's a problem, use this time to brainstorm solutions together. Teamwork makes the dream work, as they say.
Keep things positive and keep it real. And don't let the meeting drag on forever. If it's a half-hour slot, try to wrap it up in that time so everyone can get back to their hustle.
After the meeting, drop a quick email to recap what you talked about, action items, and deadlines. It's a solid way to make sure everyone's on the same page.
