In this episode of the Small Brave Moves podcast, we're talking about one of the most overlooked yet powerful leadership practices - meaningful one-on-one meetings.

Let’s be honest: most one-on-ones are either inconsistent, rushed, or overly focused on status updates. But when done right, they’re your secret weapon for building trust, boosting engagement, and retaining top talent.

I'll teach you:

  • Why most one-on-ones fall flat - and how to fix them
  • The real reason leaders avoid one-on-ones (hint: it’s not time)
  • Powerful questions to ask in your next one-on-one that go beyond the surface
  • How to turn feedback into a gift instead of a threat
  • Why one-on-ones are not just a “nice to have” but a strategic advantage

If you’ve been known to reschedule these conversations, or are wondering if they even matter, this episode will change the way you think about one-on-ones, and the way your team feels about you.
