Make room for the conversation that matters.
Maybe you have a one-on-one on your calendar and are not quite sure what you are supposed to bring. Maybe you lead these meetings and want them to feel more useful for the other person, too. This playbook gives you a simple way to prepare, talk, listen, and leave with a next step you both understand.
You will learn what a one-on-one can be for and how to give a 25-minute conversation some shape without making it feel scripted. Follow a completed example of someone asking their manager for help with competing deadlines, then read the exchange to see how both people reach a workable decision. There is guidance for the person leading the meeting, including questions to ask, ways to make room for the other person's priorities, and how to handle harder moments with care and clarity.
You will also see two complete emails: one to invite a conversation and one to recap what was agreed. Each part is labeled so you can see how the message works from the subject line through the signature.
What you get
One 13-page PDF with a note from Alexis, a plain-language guide, a flexible meeting flow, completed examples, and two annotated emails.
Two unbranded worksheets inside the PDF: one to prepare for a one-on-one and one to capture agreements and next steps. Print them for your own work as often as you need.
For you if you meet with a manager, support a team member, mentor someone, or want a clearer way to use time with one other person at work. No special office language required.
Your purchase is for your own professional use. You may adapt the ideas and share a completed worksheet or recap with the people involved when appropriate. Please do not share or redistribute the guide or its blank worksheets. The full copyright and usage terms are on page 11.
Digital download. No physical item will be shipped.
