We follow traction and use software called bloom growth. The 1:1 meetings with my employees are accessible to both of us and items can be put it at any time. We define long term goals and short term objectives and issues and work on them.

Some of my employees prefer a phone call and we just chat. Others like the structure. I spend 4 hours a week doing 8 x 30 min 1:1s

I’ve come to embrace that it doesn’t look the same for each person.

To answer your question directly, take some time and figure out for yourself, what are your work goals, what are your personal goals, what problems do you encounter at work that affect you that you feel could be solved. Bring out of the box ideas… unless you’re facing disciplinary action, the 1:1 is for you and your personal growth.

Wow I gave this answer before reading the comments and there are a lot of scary comments. I am projecting love and positivity to everyone here who has had a poor experience. I can promise you that’s not how it is everywhere in the work force
