Take time to prepare
You know the drill. If you have a free spot in your calendar someone will book it. So maybe you ended up having your 1-on-1s back to back and when one runs over, you're just through all the remaining ones.
Or you just come into the meeting with zero expectations and wing it.
Mentea is integrated with your calendar, it automatically creates buffer events for preparation and summary of the meeting, so you have all the time you need to prepare properly.
Set the right stage
These are your teammate's meetings, you're only facilitating them. That's why it's important to show them they have ownership of the agenda and talking points.
Mentea meetings have a preparation phase, here you can include agenda notes your team members can fill in. You can fill them in yourself or use a pre-defined structure.


Review and follow up on action items
Rather than speeding off to another meeting, it's better to sit down and review and fill in the gaps in your notes. Mentea books a 5 minute summary for you to do that. During this summary you can higlight points you'd like to discuss again next time or add any action items.
Consistently improve
After every 1-on-1 you and your teammate get to rathe the last meeting and follow up on next steps and improvements you can do.
