## One challenge, coached with GROW
- **Goal:** what do you want from this conversation, and from this problem?

- **Options:** what could you do? What else? What would you advise someone else to do?
- **Will:** what will you do, by when? How will I know?

## Feedback, both ways
- From me (specific, with an example; care personally and challenge directly):
- From you to me:

## What I owe you

## For a first 1:1, also ask
- What frustrates you at work, and how will I be able to tell?
- How do you like to get feedback and recognition: in public or in private?
- What would make our 1:1s useful to you?
- What are your short- and long-term goals? What do you need from me, the team and your peers?
- Do you have enough challenge, time to reflect and timely feedback right now?
