Priya's answers

"Energized by the launch, but I am concerned about how we are scoping Q3. I would like to talk through what 'done' actually looks like."

Coach suggests

Open with a direct question about Q3 scope. Rather than reassuring, surface the specific trade-off she is signaling.

Your company is spending this much every year on bi-weekly 1:1 meetings. Are you paying for high-leverage employee development, or very expensive status updates?

Assumes a 2,080-hour work year, one hour with each direct report every two weeks (26 hours per report per year), and salary loaded 30% for benefits and overhead.

McKinsey found employees who get ongoing development feedback are nearly 3.7x more likely to feel motivated than those who don't.

The whole idea, in one line

We call it the self-cleaning oven effect. Give people real space to reflect, every week, and they start managing their own performance.

You stop chasing status updates. They start owning their growth.

01

They reflect, not report.

Forty-eight hours before the meeting, the employee answers five specific questions. The manager walks in knowing exactly what the roadblocks are and what the employee has already tried to do to fix them.

02

Curiosity, not a checklist.

Based on the pre-work, our AI gives the manager a prep brief before they speak. They are coached to ask, not diagnose. That's the whole method.

03

It compounds into reviews.

Every bi-weekly 1:1 feeds development plans and reviews automatically. When December hits, nobody is writing a performance review from a blank page or relying on recency bias. It is already written.

You stop guessing. You start knowing.

Three types of reports, just a sample of what The Real 1:1 can create from your team's real 1:1s. Click any one to see the full report.

01

Customized Training Report

Built from what actually happened in their real 1:1s, so you know what training your people need in real time.

02

Individual Development Plan

A real IDP for every employee, one click, built from what actually happened in their 1:1s. The platform is set to the five areas you see on the plan. You can either continue with these five focus areas, add new ones, or replace them entirely.

03

End-of-Year Review

End-of-year review, built from a year of real 1:1s rather than reconstructed from memory. While this review is based solely on the history of the one-on-one meetings, once you upload previous performance reviews, that data will be included as well.

This isn’t new, and it’s not something an AI invented. The five questions and the Curiosity Over Conclusion methodology have been developed and used since 2019, across seven years of real coaching engagements, with hundreds of people trained in the method.

What people said after seeing an early demo

What we have currently is not anything this dynamic or impactful.

What I found most useful was how practical it was. It helped me think through real management situations rather than just giving me more theory.
