Standing one-on-one meetings can be incredibly powerful tools for connection, career development, and productivity—but only if we run them with intention. In this episode, I'm joined by Nicole Case, an executive and leadership coach with a background in corporate HR, to discuss how to hold truly effective one-on-ones—both as a manager and as an employee. Nicole walks us through what one-on-one meetings are meant to be (spoiler: not status meetings), common mistakes managers and individual contributors make, and how to use these meetings to build trust, increase visibility, reduce burnout, and prevent misalignment. She also shares practical strategies for setting up and running these meetings, including guidance on cadence, agendas, meeting prep, follow-up, and more. We also talk about: Why canceling one-on-ones might actually be fueling the very interruptions that frustrate you The manager's role in opening up conversations about career development and workload How employees can use one-on-ones to advocate for themselves and elevate their work Why even senior leaders benefit from structured one-on-one time The difference between talking to your boss daily vs. having dedicated time for strategic and personal topics How to manage follow-through and action items in a lightweight, efficient way Whether you're a manager wanting to lead better or an employee looking for more meaningful time with your boss, this episode is full of practical takeaways that can transform how you view and use your one-on-one meetings.
