00:00:09,361 --> 00:00:10,987
Hey there, I'm Reggie.

3
00:00:10,987 --> 00:00:12,920
I'm an instructor at Treehouse.

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:17,260
In this workshop I'll walk you through
how to have effective one-on-ones.

5
00:00:17,260 --> 00:00:20,574
A one-on-one is a regularly scheduled
meeting between a manager and

6
00:00:20,574 --> 00:00:21,650
their direct report.

7
00:00:23,100 --> 00:00:27,555
The purpose of this meeting is to be able
to have a one-on-one interaction weekly,

8
00:00:27,555 --> 00:00:28,750
or biweekly.

9
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:33,439
So the direct report can discuss
topics such as projects, concerns,

10
00:00:33,439 --> 00:00:36,941
and professional development
with their manager.

11
00:00:36,941 --> 00:00:39,029
A one-on-one sounds simple in theory,

12
00:00:39,029 --> 00:00:43,540
it's a regularly scheduled meeting
between two people discussing work.

13
00:00:43,540 --> 00:00:45,444
It is so much more than that,

14
00:00:45,444 --> 00:00:49,594
which is part of the reason a one-on-one
can be ineffective if we're not taking

15
00:00:49,594 --> 00:00:51,130
the time to plan and prepare.

16
00:00:52,530 --> 00:00:55,450
You'll likely hear me say
this quite a few times today,

17
00:00:55,450 --> 00:00:58,640
a one-on-one is the most important
meeting on your calendar.

18
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,129
That's why we'll cover
the benefits of a one-on-one so

19
00:01:01,129 --> 00:01:04,330
you know what outcomes to
anticipate from your meetings.

20
00:01:04,330 --> 00:01:08,230
Additionally, we'll discuss what you
can expect and plan for this meeting.

21
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:12,503
So you not only feel prepared but
also comfortable. To wrap things up,

22
00:01:12,503 --> 00:01:17,580
we'll review tips you can apply to ensure
your one-on-ones are successful.

23
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:22,040
Whether you've had one-on-ones before,
or this is a new concept for you.

24
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,470
This course can help you improve
your one-on-one experience.

25
00:01:25,470 --> 00:01:29,160
If you're a first time manager or
it's your first time working in tech,

26
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,078
or maybe you're looking to become more
comfortable in a one-on-one setting,

27
00:01:33,078 --> 00:01:36,448
you'll be able to walk away with new or
improved ideas to make you or

28
00:01:36,448 --> 00:01:38,930
your direct reports one-on-one beneficial.

29
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:43,230
Let's get started by discussing
what to expect in a one-on-one.
