Although your manager is the one who schedules 1:1 meetings, the greatest benefits from these encounters are for you. This is a chance to have a dedicated space to talk about your needs, doubts or aspirations.
Acknowledging the importance of this meeting, we would like to offer you a list of questions you can use to prepare the agenda of your 1:1s in the best possible way.
Talking points aiming to:
Questions about our relationship and teamwork.
Questions about my personal and career development.
