Why in the world would 1W1’s be beneficial to your team, business, or organization? I’m sure many of you know an answer to this question. If so, excellent.

However, I’ve worked in organizations that did not practice 1W1’s, and, whereas I do believe there are times when they are not needed, I do believe, rather strongly, that they are imperative in the first year or two of a brand new team, business, or organization. Why?

Because they allow you to get to know your team in ways that are only possible by spending high-quality time with people. Getting to know who they are as human beings. What they love, how they work, what they are passionate about, and what they are afraid of. All relevant and important.

Mm, actually very important. Being connected to them this way will provide you with information that will help move the team, business, or organization forward. Without that connection, your team, business, or organization will only move so far.

Let us say, for now, that you don’t have a 1W1 coaching system; or, that you find yourself in the midst of a pandemic, which you are, and are looking for new ways to engage with your team.
