1:1 meetings are essential for communication and alignment, but they can easily become time-wasters without a solid structure. Let’s face it, wasting hours in meetings is costly for any organization. Let me show you how to fix your 1:1 meetings and make them productive, efficient, and impactful in just 60 seconds!

✅ 1. Don’t Just Go with the Flow

Set a clear agenda and stick to it religiously. It’s tempting to let conversations drift, but doing so wastes time and dilutes focus. Decide on 3–4 key points for the meeting and make sure you cover them all.

Strong systems breed success.

✅ 2. Eliminate the Fluff

Focus on the things that actually matter. Ask specific questions about projects and avoid irrelevant topics that don’t move the needle.

Time is money, and your time is valuable.

✅ 3. Listen First, Speak Last
