PSYCH 1-ON-1:
New Perspectives on the One-on-One Networking Meeting
The process of the 1-on-1 meeting is complicated enough, but the underlying psychology makes it even trickier. Asking for 1-on-1s, responding to requests, discerning whether the two of you would make good referral partners . . . there’s much potential for awkwardness here!
Learn to navigate the many pitfalls of 1-on-1 meetings—both structural and psychological—and find your ideal referral partners. Topics include:
· Why 1-on-1s are essential to your success
· What a 1-on-1 is really for, and the ways it is frequently misused
· Why you might be procrastinating about 1-on-1s and how to get past it
· The number of 1-on-1s you should be having and with whom
· Ways to fit 1-on-1s into a busy schedule
· How to decline an unwanted 1-on-1 request
· Why managing your time during a 1-on-1 is essential
· How to avoid offending the other person before, during, and after the meeting
· What to do if the other person breaks 1-on-1 standards or etiquette
· Systems for following up, establishing and sustaining referral partnerships, and tracking the effectiveness of these relationships
