Reflect on Past One-on-Ones
- Recall a message you conveyed in your last one-on-one, focusing on your intent behind it.
- Analyze if the way you shared that message had the intended effect on the other person.
Information Overload
- Sharing excessive information may not be persuasive; it can overload the listener.
- We often overestimate our influence on others and discount how communication changes us.
Prepare by Talking to Yourself
- Prepare for your next one-on-one by having a discussion with yourself, as if talking to the other person.
- Take notes, state your goals explicitly, and plan how you'll address them selectively, not all at once.
