One-to-ones that hold up six months later

9 min read

Small changes to how you run and close a one-to-one that make the record genuinely useful later.

A useful one-to-one record is not a transcript. It is a clear statement of what changed: expectations set, support offered, concerns raised, commitments made.

Close every conversation by saying the commitments out loud. It takes thirty seconds and it removes almost all future ambiguity.

Reference the previous conversation at the start of the next one. Continuity is what turns a series of meetings into a relationship with a history.

Separate observation from interpretation. The observation will still be true in six months; the interpretation may not be.
