Most managers waste their 1-on-1s. This is how I make sure I don’t: Early in my career, I didn’t understand the power of a great 1-on-1. As a founder, I make sure my 1-on-1s drive growth, trust, and retention. As a Manager: Here’s what I do differently. ▶️ I plan ahead. My team knows the agenda before we meet. No surprises, no wasted time. ▶️ I start with a human check-in. No one wants to jump straight into work talk. A few minutes of real conversation builds trust. ▶️ I always give structured feedback. I use “Start, Stop, Continue”: Start: What new actions could help them grow? Stop: What habits might be slowing them down? Continue: What are they excelling at? Reinforce their strengths. ▶️ I set meaningful goals with them, not for them. Using “The 3Ps” framework: Project: What’s the next big deliverable? Progress: How are their skills evolving? Path: Where do they want to go in their career? ▶️ I never cancel. If something comes up, I reschedule. It’s a signal that their time matters. ▶️ I listen more than I talk. My job is to unblock—not dominate the conversation. ▶️ I offer genuine support. Saying, “Let me know if you need anything” is lazy. Instead, I make specific offers to help. As an Employee, Here’s what I did to make my 1-on-1s count: ✅ I came prepared. I treated these meetings as a chance to drive my own growth, not just report updates. ✅ I gave my managers feedback using “The H.O.W.” framework: Highlight: What’s working? Start with the positives. Observe: What challenges are holding me back? Be honest. Wish: What support do I need? Be specific. ✅ I took ownership of my career. I didn’t wait for my manager to ask about my goals—I brought them up myself. ✅ I defined my own growth using the “G.R.I.T." framework: Goal: What’s my long-term career objective? Reality: Where am I right now? What gaps exist? Initiative: What skills, projects, or mentorship will get me there? Timeline: When do I want to reach each milestone? Invest in these conversations. You’ll see the ROI in trust, collaboration, and retention. What’s your 1-on-1 strategy?

I've helped over 400 businesses with marketing. Most of them face THIS situation: They lack clarity about their marketing problems. As a result, they treat symptoms but not root problems. - Try new tactics while the target audience is undefined - Write new headlines with unclear messaging - Blame tools, tactics, and channels - Never assess the positioning They focus on surface-level problems while deeper ones are hurting badly the business. They are changing the color of the wallpaper while the house is built on a ravine. Sometimes, they even blame external factors: - "Let's fire the agency, they send poor leads" - "Our CRM doesn't have the right features" - "This channel is bad, let's try a new one" But deeper marketing problems are still here. And the causes are often the same: - Too product-centric → "Our product is the best" - The sunk cost fallacy → "We can't change this now" - Not enough market-oriented → "The market will adapt" As a result, product and strategic problems are silently killing the business. Here's the perfect scenario to move on: Founder: I did a 2-week meditation retreat in the mountains, my ego has vanished - what should I do now? Me: Let's analyze the 4 layers of marketing problems: 1. Surface-level Problems You need to change your copy, channels, tactics, or tools to get more conversions. The criticality level is low, install a backlog and experiment changes. 2. Structural Problems You need to plan structural changes with a 3-month roadmap. Audit your systems, teams, KPIs, and budget to revamp your marketing system. 3. Strategic Problems You need to align your business and the market now. Work on your ICP, positioning, offer, and messaging. Each day that passes without addressing this issue, you accumulate marketing debt and diminish the perceived value. 4. Product Problems You need to rethink your product capability for your target audience. It might be time to focus on a more specific use case or pivot your efforts to solve a stronger PUR problem (painful, urgent, recognized)."
