More Information

Regular 1:1 meetings are a cornerstone of effective management. They play a critical role in building trust, maintaining alignment and supporting both performance and wellbeing across the team. When done well, they become the most valuable meeting in everyone’s calendar and a powerful driver of engagement and retention.

Yet many managers struggle to make their 1:1 meetings meaningful. They can feel rushed, inconsistent or overly focused on tasks, with unclear purpose or follow-up. Without the right structure and mindset, these conversations risk becoming a tick-box exercise rather than a valuable opportunity to connect and support.

Participant will learn how to tailor their approach to individual needs, build psychological safety and balance key elements such as wellbeing, feedback, performance and development.

By the end, managers will feel more confident running purposeful, engaging 1:1 meetings that drive action and strengthen relationships. They’ll leave with practical tools and clear next steps to make their 1:1 meetings a great use of everyone’s time, laying the groundwork for improved team performance and organisational success.
