1:1 Meetings

A regular 1:1 is the most natural place to coach. In Admire a 1:1 is just a Meeting: use it to catch up and take notes as you always have, and when it’s natural, record an observation on a skill or two. Over weeks of check-ins, those few observations add up to a real picture of how someone is developing.

Run your 1:1 as a Meeting

1. Plan it (or start it in one click). Plan a Meeting with the person and the skills you want to touch on, or start instantly from the dashboard (below).

2. Work through what’s outstanding. The session opens with the person’s recent notes, tasks, and wins from since you last met, so you cover what matters and check each item off as you go.

3. Coach a skill or two. Pick 1 to 2 skills to assess alongside the usual conversation. You don’t have to score everything; rate only what actually came up. See Scoring skills.

4. Sign off (optional) and set the next one. Recurring 1:1s are what make coaching systematic rather than occasional.

A 1:1 in progress: agenda, the history from since you last met, and a skill or two being scored.

Short on time? Start with the lightning button

You don’t need a planning step to get a well-prepared 1:1. Everyone you coach appears on your dashboard, and the lightning button drops you straight into a session: you as coach, them as coachee, and their priority and required skills already selected. No form to fill.

The Relationships widget: the lightning button starts a ready-to-go 1:1 in one click.

Prioritize skills so the shortcut is smart

The lightning button pre-fills the person’s priority skills together with their role’s required skills (the ones that are both come first). Prioritizing a few skills per person is what makes the one-click start land on the right things. See Quick meetings.

Keep the rhythm

Between sessions, capture context as it happens with quick notes and observations so your next 1:1 starts already loaded with things to discuss.
