A SELF-PACED WORKSHOP FOR MANAGERS
Stop carrying the conversation for your people.
Most managers were never taught how to run a 1:1. So they copy the one they were handed, and it quietly turns into a status update with no direction.
This is how you reset it. The words, the structure and the tools to take straight back into your next one.

"I realised I had been doing 1:1s completely wrong. I was doing most of the talking and, without realising it, taking responsibility for the work that should have belonged to my team."
Larni N, Health
You know the meeting I mean.
You block out the timeΒ and come prepared. You care about the person sitting across from you.
Twenty minutes later, you have gone through their project list, solved two problems that weren't yours to solve, and picked up three actions you didn't walk in with.
They leave lighter. You leave heavier.
Nothing went wrong. That is what makes it so hard to fix.

REAL WORDS FROM REAL MANAGERS
Β
"I'm in back to back 1:1s all week and I still end up doing everyone's thinking for them."
"My team never brings anything. I'm the one filling every silence."
"I leave every 1:1 with more on my plate than when I started."
It is not a motivation problem. It is a design problem.
When managers tell me their people are not proactive, I do not look at the people. I look at the meeting structure.
Because if every fortnight you set the agenda, you ask the questions, you solve the problems and you fill the silence, why would anyone suddenly take ownership?
Your 1:1s are not neutral. Every repeated meeting teaches behaviour. It teaches your team who brings the thinking, who sets direction, and who carries the load.
Responsibility follows air time. Whoever talks the most is carrying the most.
If that is you, no wonder it feels like you are doing all the heavy lifting.
The good news is that design can be changed. That is what this workshop does.
Every fortnight you run it the old way, your team learns it again.
You bring the thinking. They bring the updates.
Six months from now you're more tired, and they're no more capable than they are today.
The meeting isn't neutral. Neither is leaving it.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
1Know why your 1:1s are draining you
The three design flaws that turn good managers into people who carry every conversation.
2Have four practical leadership moves you can use immediately
Reset the 1:1 meeting purpose, shift ownership, ask better questions and close with direction.
3Be able to sit in silence without rescuing it
The skill almost nobody teaches, and the one managers tell me changed the most.
4Know exactly what to say when it gets awkward
Real language for the four hardest moments in a 1:1.
5Have a foundation for the working relationship itself
The Relational Agreement, and how to have that conversation without it feeling like a formal process.
What you get
The video workshop
Sixty minutes, self-paced, across eleven short lessons so you can watch it in pieces. Includes the four moves, the silence skill and the practical language section.
The 1:1 Reset Workbook
Thirty-three pages. Fillable, so you can type straight into it and keep your own copy, or print it and write by hand. It follows the video section by section, then becomes a set ofΒ work resources you keep on your desk.
The 1:1 Toolkit
Twenty pages, fillable. Four tools: the Manager Pre-Planner, the Employee Pre-Planner, the Conversation Page for use during the meeting, and the Relational Agreement with a guide on how to run it.
The Employee Pre-Planner
A standalone version you can send straight to your team, so they arrive having thought about what they need.
Fifty-eight pages of designed, fillable material. Yours to keep, use with every direct report, and come back to whenever your 1:1s start to drift.
What managers say after the reset
Four managers who did the workshop, in their own words.
"I finally understood what a 1:1 was actually for."
This workshop helped me rethink the purpose of my 1:1s and shift the standard with my team. I got clear with each team member about what our 1:1s were for and reset the structure and expectations. It's only been six weeks, but I can already see a difference in how people are showing up. There's more ownership, better conversations and much more engagement.
Cynthia S, NFP Sector
"I realised I had been doing 1:1s completely wrong."
I was taking the lead, doing most of the talking and, without realising it, taking responsibility for work that should have belonged to my team. This course completely shifted how I approach my 1:1s. I now have a much clearer structure and agenda and, most importantly, I know how to hold accountability and support at the same time. I definitely feel more confident.
Larni N, Health Sector
"Brooke made something I had been overcomplicating feel really simple."
I loved how Brooke broke down the 1:1 meeting structure into simple, practical steps. The self-paced module and workbook helped me reflect on what I was actually doing, while the toolkit gave me everything I needed to put it into practice straight away. I just needed to change a few key things, and I could see the difference immediately.
Jo B, Health Sector
"I don't avoid my 1:1s anymore."
Before this workshop, I often put off my 1:1s because they felt like another meeting I had to keep going and hold the space. I now have a much clearer purpose and structure, and I feel more confident going into the conversations. My team also seems much more engaged. It has made 1:1s feel less like a task and much more like an opportunity to actually lead.
Kate W, Private Practice
This is for you if
- βYou manage people and your 1:1s have quietly become status updates
- βYou leave those meetings carrying more than you arrived with
- βYour team waits for you to set the agenda, ask the questions and find the answers
- βYou have never actually been taught how to run a 1:1, because most managers have not
- βYou want practical language, not another leadership model to memorise
This is not for you if
- βYou want a theory-heavy leadership framework
- βYou are looking for a template to fill in rather than a way of working to change
- βYou are not currently managing anyone
Why I built this
I am Brooke Baxter. I work with managers and organisations who want better relationships, clearer teams, and cultures where people actually take ownership.
I have spent years sitting in rooms with leaders who are exhausted. These managers care a great deal about the work and their people, and they are doing too much of the work for the people around them.
Almost every time, when I look at where that starts, it starts in the same place. The 1:1 meeting.
Most leadership development stays at the level of strategy and models. I work at the level of the actual conversation and the dynamics that play out, because that is where clarity gets built or lost, where trust is strengthened or weakened, and where ownership is created or quietly avoided.
Leadership is the small moments. This workshop is about the ones that happen every fortnight, in a room with one person.
