A new resource to prepare for your workplace meetings

If you like a process and flow, you might like something new we’re working on. We prepared a small and effective resource to help you speak with your manager (or team members)  with increased confidence.

It’s a an organized tool that lets you identify the most important elements of the upcoming meeting / conversation that you care about.  This will hep you to be more confident, and definitely more prepared during the meeting discussion – potentially improving the outcome.  We know what to do already, but this gives us an organized framework for planning – for every 1:1 meeting.
