- Personal growth, evaluate your current situation and adapt expectations.
- Team/group growth, how do you feel within the team? Are we getting better?
- Vent off, get some things out of your system.
- This is not a status meeting. No need to report anything on your tasks unless you want to.
I'm using a basic structure which I call "The Traffic Light". Each side will prepare their points divided into Green, Yellow, and Red.
🍀 Green — Good stuff that happened, things that are going in the right direction
🔔 Yellow — Heads up, things that are on the wrong path and can still be fixed
🚨 Red — Actions or events that happened and harmed the growth or operational success
- Preparation, During the time before the session, collect points for discussion
- Communication, one day before the session, share a document with the discussion points
- Introduction, start by asking a simple question, "How are you feeling today?", then refresh the memory with the points of the last session.
- Discussion, go over the points, write comments
- Recap, at the end of the session, recap the main takeaways
