Subject: The one-on-one most managers skip
Preview text: Plus three questions to bring to your next one, and November office hours.
Hi friend,
On this week's episode, Dana talked about the one-on-one most new managers skip: the one where nothing is on fire.
When things are calm, it's tempting to cancel. Dana's point is that the calm weeks are where trust gets built, because it's the only time your team member gets to bring up what's on their mind instead of what's on the project board.
Three questions from the episode to bring to your next calm one-on-one:
- What's taking more of your energy than it should right now?
- What's one thing I could stop doing that would help you?
- What are you curious about that we haven't talked about?
November office hours. Dana is holding a free 30-minute group Q&A for managers the second Tuesday of November. Reply to this email and we'll send the link.
Talk soon,
Dana at Fenhollow Leadership Coaching

Don't cancel the calm one-on-one
When nothing is on fire, the weekly one-on-one is the first meeting to get cut. In Ep. 88, Dana explains why that's the meeting worth keeping: it's the one time your team member sets the agenda.
The episode ends with three questions to bring next time. They're short, and they're on purpose: open enough that the other person does most of the talking.
