Do you believe that taking notes during one-on-one meetings makes you a more attentive leader? What if it’s actually doing the opposite?
In this episode, we challenge the widely accepted habit of note taking during one-on-ones—especially among humanitarian and development leaders—and explore how it might be silently damaging trust, connection, and communication with your team. If you’ve ever felt disconnected or like your team isn’t opening up, this might be the missing piece.
In this episode you’ll discover:
- Why multitasking—even something as “small” as jotting down notes—breaks presence and leads to poor listening.
- Learn powerful, practical strategies to stay fully present without sacrificing important information.
- Walk away with a new approach that improves trust, communication, and the quality of your team’s problem-solving.
