Culture of dialogue:
Mastery of individual (1-on-1) conversations
Do your 1:1 conversations really create value—or do they just fill up your calendar?
Although one-on-one meetings should be the most important tool for employee engagement and growth, they often become a formal formality. Without a clear direction, structure, or continuity, these meetings not only fail to help, but also weaken the relationship between the manager and the team member.
- Conversations are taking place without a clear direction or structure – lack of preparation, superficial questions
- Employees do not feel heard or valued – dominated by a one-sided monologue from the manager about work
- Conversations take place too rarely – often these are just annual assessments rather than ongoing communication
- The manager talks about tasks, while the employee expects to hear about motivation. – themes and expectations are inconsistent
- Lack of continuity – there are no clear agreements or progress monitoring, so the conversations have no long-term impact.
Such one-on-one conversations not only fail to build trust, but eventually become a formality that everyone tries to avoid.
This can change.
1on1 conversations can become powerful ratio, motivation and growth tool – when they are consistent, meaningful, and of clear value to both sides.
We invite managers who want to revive or strengthen the practice of one-on-one meetings to attend this seminar, so that these meetings become more than just a formality and become one of the most important leadership tools.
What can you achieve with high-quality 1:1 conversations?
Research shows that regular, structured 1:1 conversations between managers and employees have a direct impact on team productivity, engagement, and relationships:
- 21% increase in productivity (Gallup, 2019)
- 2x greater employee engagement
- Better emotional climate in the team
- Stronger connections between leaders and team members
- Clear agreements, monitoring of change, and continuity
These findings are based on research involving thousands of teams and analysis of leadership practices around the world. They clearly show that regular, sincere, and structured attention from a manager to an employee is not an additional task, but an essential factor for success.
In this seminar, we will practice:
- Conduct structured, focused, and human 1on1 conversations using Talk2Grow 1on1 Frameworką.

- results and efforts,
- competencies and growth
- motivation and relationships
- Discover the meaning for yourself and talk to your employee, even when "everything has already been discussed."
- Responding to complex emotional situations: when an employee withdraws, resists, or avoids responsibility, etc.
- Recognize the dynamics of the conversation and be able to maintain an open but constructive atmosphere.
