6 Tips for Productive 1:1 Meetings with Your Manager

📈 Career Development video:    • 5 Steps to Get Your Next Promotion at Work!  

🥂 By now, we all know how important a role our managers play in our professional development. So in this video, I share 6 Tips for Productive 1:1 Meetings with Your Manager that you can apply immediately in your next one on one with your boss!

If you think about it, it's in both you and your manager's best interests to have effective 1 on 1 meetings, since constructive 1:1s throughout the year makes performance reviews a breeze. With routine 1:1s, review time can be more about goals and the year ahead instead of constructive feedback from the past 🙌

The problem is that most of us (I fell victim to this as well) take a rather passive approach to 1:1 meetings. Case in point: If you run a quick Google search, you'll find a LOT of resources teaching managers how to conduct 1:1's with us, but very few resources teaching us how to manage up effectively!

To make the most out of your next one on one meeting with the boss, you want to prepare an agenda beforehand, have a robust structure during the 1:1 meeting, and follow up afterwards.

Let me know how your next 1:1 meeting goes 😉
