As a leader, your 1:1 time with your team members might be the most meaningful conversations you have all week. These moments offer a unique opportunity to truly see, hear, and value your people. Yet, too often, 1:1 meetings are treated as just another calendar event—easily moved, postponed, or overlooked.  What if we reimagined these conversations as a cornerstone of leadership? Done right, 1:1s can be a powerful tool to deepen trust, unlock potential, and drive both engagement and performance. They’re not just about updates or checking the box; they’re about fostering connection, clarity, and collaboration.  Explore topics such as:  The true purpose of 1:1s: Moving from transactional to transformational. Optimal frequency and structure: How often should they happen, and what makes them impactful?  Creating value through preparation: Why agendas matter—and when they don’t.  Active listening and meaningful dialogue: Techniques to truly hear what’s being said (and what isn’t).  Addressing challenges: How to navigate common barriers like awkward silences, difficult feedback, or misaligned expectations.  Whether you’re looking to reinvigorate stale 1:1s or want to set a strong foundation for new team dynamics, this session will give you actionable strategies and fresh perspectives to elevate your conversations.Follow SAIT Corporate Training on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/saitcorporatetraining/?viewAsMember=true Connect directly with Jennie and Craig on LinkedIn: Jennie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenniengilbert/ Craig: https://www.linkedin.com/in/craighess/ Have burning questions about leadership that you'd like us to address?
