One-on-one meetings (or 1:1s) is the shortcut term our department uses for meeting individually with someone, most often with a direct report or supervisor. Student employees meet with their supervisor in 1:1s at various frequencies throughout the year, and professional staff meet with their reporting line supervisor in 1:1s on a regular basis as well. I love thinking about how the questions we ask open up possibilities for different conversations. I asked the team what kind of prompts they use in their 1:1s with student employees and there were a lot of thematic similarities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In these conversations, the question below is just a starting point, from there we can ask follow-up questions and unpack responses in detail. Some supervisors give their questions to the team member in advance, and not all questions make it into every conversation. Here\u2019s a collection:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. How has this past [week, month, term] been?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Tell me about a highlight from this past [week, month, term]. Or What do you feel like you\u2019re doing particularly well?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. What challenges have you experienced\/faced? Or What\u2019s been challenging about your work?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. What is on your radar as you look ahead? What\u2019s coming up?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. What skills do you want to further develop this term? What types of projects do you want to take on? What areas of development do you have in mind?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. In general, or specific to the projects and skills above, what kind of support would you like from me? What would be helpful this [week, month, term]?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Here\u2019s an upcoming project, change, or workflow ____. What role do you want to play in that project? What do you think your strengths or contributions might be?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These prompts strike me as useful in a range of conversations \u2013 in your own 1:1s or similar conversations. I\u2019ll add one of my favorite prompts to the list as well, which is to ask folks, \u201cwhat would you<\/em> like me to ask you about\/check in on when we meet next?\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
