Hey there, I'm Reggie.
0:09
I'm an instructor at Treehouse.
0:10
In this workshop I'll walk you through
how to have effective one-on-ones.
0:12
A one-on-one is a regularly scheduled
meeting between a manager and
0:17
their direct report.
0:20
The purpose of this meeting is to be able
to have a one-on-one interaction weekly,
0:23
or biweekly.
0:27
So the direct report can discuss
topics such as projects, concerns,
0:28
and professional development
with their manager.
0:33
A one-on-one sounds simple in theory,
0:36
it's a regularly scheduled meeting
between two people discussing work.
0:39
It is so much more than that,
0:43
which is part of the reason a one-on-one
can be ineffective if we're not taking
0:45
the time to plan and prepare.
0:49
You'll likely hear me say
this quite a few times today,
0:52
a one-on-one is the most important
meeting on your calendar.
0:55
That's why we'll cover
the benefits of a one-on-one so
0:58
you know what outcomes to
anticipate from your meetings.
1:01
Additionally, we'll discuss what you
can expect and plan for this meeting.
1:04
So you not only feel prepared but
also comfortable. To wrap things up,
1:08
we'll review tips you can apply to ensure
your one-on-ones are successful.
1:12
Whether you've had one-on-ones before,
or this is a new concept for you.
1:17
This course can help you improve
your one-on-one experience.
1:22
If you're a first time manager or
it's your first time working in tech,
1:25
or maybe you're looking to become more
comfortable in a one-on-one setting,
1:29
you'll be able to walk away with new or
improved ideas to make you or
1:33
your direct reports one-on-one beneficial.
1:36
Let's get started by discussing
what to expect in a one-on-one.
