What to Say
in 1:1s

(When You Have No Idea What to Say)

You’ve made time for a 1:1. Now you need something better than “How’s everything?”

Five questions to help you get past the usual answers. A place to start when you want an honest conversation but aren’t sure how to open it.

Give people room
to answer honestly.

You don’t need to fill every silence. Sometimes the most useful thing you can do is ask a better question and give the other person time.

That’s what this guide is for. Questions that invite people to talk without making them feel put on the spot.
