Hello,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ever struggled with breaking the ice in meetings with new colleagues or clients? I’m excited to share a unique approach from our book, “I am a Software Engineer and I am in Charge,” that transforms these encounters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🎯 Introducing: Discovery One-on-One<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🤔 What Is It?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a structured yet flexible approach to prepare and drive effective meetings with people you’re not yet familiar with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🌟 Why Use It?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building a strong relationship is crucial for effective collaboration. This method ensures that your first meeting lays a solid foundation for future interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

👣 How It Works<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1️⃣ Prepare Your Board: Create a simple board with three columns: To Do, In Progress, Done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2️⃣ Set the Agenda: Use sticky notes for each topic: Ice Breaker, Professional Background, Experience, 3 Wishes, and a wild card (???).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3️⃣ Ice Breaker: Start with light, engaging questions to ease into the meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4️⃣ Share Backgrounds: Discuss your professional journeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5️⃣ Discuss Relevant Experiences: Tailor this part to your specific context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6️⃣ 3 Wishes: End with a creative question about transforming work or the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7️⃣ Wild Card: Allow space for any additional topics they might want to discuss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

📝 Note: This approach is adaptable. Feel free to tailor it to suit the context of your meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

🔄 Why It Matters<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First impressions count. A Discovery One-on-One ensures your first meeting is not just productive but also enjoyable, setting the stage for a great working relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

📚 Curious to learn more? This is just one of the many practices we delve into. Check out the experiment: Discovery One-on-one<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
