About this live course
This hands-on workshop shows managers how to use AI to get far more value from their 1:1s. Most leaders treat each 1:1 as a standalone meeting, but AI now makes it possible to build a system that learns over time, remembering context about each direct report: their work, goals, commitments, challenges, and development areas.
By bringing your 1:1 notes from tools like Fathom or Granola into a centralized place for each direct report, you can use AI to prepare for meetings, surface follow-ups, track commitments, spot patterns, and coach your people more effectively.
But better technology alone doesn't create better 1:1s. You can also improve the entire process, from how you prepare, to what you do during the meeting, to what happens after. Done well, a 30-minute 1:1 becomes one of a manager's highest-leverage tools for developing people, increasing accountability, and improving team performance.
Adam will build an AI-Powered 1:1 Operating System with participants in real time, drawing on management best practices and AI tools you can start using immediately. You'll leave with a step-by-step approach you can use in your very next 1:1.
