What problem does it solve?
The 1on1s Skill helps you stop 1:1 meetings from turning into unstructured status updates, miscommunication, or emotional overload by giving you a ready-to-use agenda, targeted questions, and a follow-up plan.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Prepares a manager-ready agenda: Picks the right topics and ordering (prioritizing the report’s concerns first) and turns them into a 3–5 item discussion plan.
- Improves the conversational flow: Identifies whether the conversation is an Update, Vent, or Disaster and adjusts your listening and next questions accordingly.
- Diagnoses with feelings: Uses consistent, lightweight prompts like “How did you feel this week?” to surface patterns such as anxiety, chronic lateness, or defensiveness.
- Prevents role drift: Helps you set boundaries so you support and redirect appropriately instead of becoming a therapist, including when to involve HR.
Quick Start
Ask for an agenda and 3–5 ready-to-say questions for your next 1:1 with your direct report, and include a brief follow-up note you should write after the meeting.
