I’m definitely guilty of saying “yeah everything is good”. I used to think that’s what managers wanted to hear, but your other approach makes more sense as it does communicate my value every single time. Nice!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I’m a new CEO of a nonprofit and I’m a tell you right now you are 100% spot on when my board asked me how it is going! I am learning how to delegate things more, be stronger yet gentler on my approach of saying I need help and I need it now! I have a new boss every year so that changes things for me tremendously and can cause a lot of anxiety.
@susanplunkett5193
Yep. I had my 1:1 today. It goes so much smoother when you get your thoughts together.
@BlickWinker
Just remember to be aware of those, who's taking credits. Even your manager or boss or leader, etc. I learned this hard in working life.
@katyfelkner6769
Honestly this is also great advice for meeting a my PhD advisor, I’ll def keep this in mind!
@MiaWasMine
Erin is my spirit animal.
@marvinb.4197
Always waiting for the tap at the end and the "you got this"✨ So satisfying! You're right, I got this 😎💪🏼
@data.girlie
I love your "you got this" ❤
@adrianmh
What's even crazier is how few managers know how to conduct one-on-ones
@greysky8
Most of MY bosses would be IRATE AS HAIL if I took over the meeting like that. Big managerial egos do NOT take kindly to anyone taking a "leading tone" with them in Any situation. : D
@alannahpybis2840
Also don't let yourself be blindsighted into 1:1s by your manager, ask to rearrange to a future date when. You've had time to think
@lizcbeecham
I just sent my manager a similar email. Our first meeting was more like, “everything is fine” lol So I’m hoping the 2nd check in will be more productive. Thank you! 🙏
@Thefoxthatbecameawolf
I used to do this, then, I was denied a bonus because apparently keeping your boss updated and asking for their opinion shows "that I have trouble doing my job and being organized" so now I just say "all good"
@renees8262
This also applies to meeting 1:1 with clients
@AsianCurls
This is so useful! I often find 1:1s are so unproductive cuz no one would ever mention what goes into 1:1s. I even asked my managers and mentors (been at 7 diff companies, all gave very non-answers). Thanks Erin! This gives employees a chance to show visibility to a busy manager :)
@javadali9672
That's so helpful Erin, thanks❤. I am definitely the 1st type of person because I have no idea how to approach this type of interaction
@linettemiller878
As someone who conducts these meetings with my employees, I'd rather you be giving this advice to managers so they can ask the right questions. The senior person in a meeting should be leading it and making sure they are making it a productive time for everyone
@alexjimenez8088
Thank you. I concider you one of my Heros. Your advice has helped me and several others. I'm very happy and blessed to have ran into your content.
