Transform Your One-on-Ones From Repetitive Check-ins to Career-Changing Conversations

Every manager knows the frustration: You sit down for a one-on-one, and somehow you're having the same conversation you had last month. The same issues resurface. Progress feels invisible. Your team member leaves, and you both wonder what you actually accomplished.

The One to Ones Planner changes that. This isn't just another notebook – it's a proven system that turns scattered conversations into strategic development sessions.

With structured prompts and dedicated tracking sections, you'll build momentum week after week. You'll document what's working, spot patterns early, and create a clear development story for each team member. No more forgotten action items. No more déjà vu discussions.

Designed by leadership experts and trusted by managers at companies like Google, Amazon, and Harvard, this planner gives you the framework to lead conversations that actually move careers forward.

The Unstuck Box system components
Part 1

The Complete One-to-One System

Start With a Card, Build a Story

The Unstuck Box® isn't just a collection of products – it's an integrated system that transforms how managers lead one-on-ones. Here's how it works:

The Cards Spark the Conversation

Draw from 100 expert-crafted prompts covering six critical areas: weekly check-ins, career development, upward feedback, onboarding, team building, and wellbeing. No more awkward silences or surface-level "How's it going?" Instead, you'll ask questions that uncover hidden frustrations, unlock potential, and build genuine trust.

The Planner Captures the Journey

Each double-page spread in the planner has a dedicated section specifically for The Unstuck Box® cards. Note which card you used, document the insights that emerged, and track the commitments made. The structured format on the left guides your conversation flow, while free-form space on the right captures the nuances and breakthroughs.

The cards even fit perfectly in the planner's expandable pocket – everything you need in one professional package.

Part 2

From Random Check-ins to Strategic Development

How They Work Together

Meeting Day:

Start by having your team member draw 1-2 cards, or select ones relevant to their current challenges. The cards do the heavy lifting of starting meaningful conversations – questions designed by experts from Google, Harvard Business School, and London Business School.

During the Conversation:

Use the planner's structured prompts to guide the discussion. Check off whether you've covered feedback, goals, development, and key projects. The planner ensures nothing falls through the cracks while the cards take you deeper than you'd normally go.

Building Momentum:

Week after week, the planner reveals patterns. Those quarterly checkpoint pages help you spot recurring themes from the card discussions. You'll see how that conversation about work-life balance three months ago connects to today's discussion about career ambitions.

This isn't just documentation – it's a development story you're writing together, one card and one page at a time.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this different from using a regular notebook for my one-on-ones?
Unlike a blank notebook, the One to Ones Planner provides a proven structure with dedicated sections for questions, challenges, action items, and meeting reflections. The double-page spread format guides your conversations, while quarterly checkpoints help you track patterns and measure progress. It's the difference between hoping for good meetings and systematically building them.
Do I need the cards to use the planner effectively?
No, the planner works brilliantly on its own with built-in prompts and structured sections. However, pairing it with The Unstuck Box® One to Ones cards creates a complete system – the cards spark deeper conversations while the planner captures and tracks them. There's even a dedicated section in the planner specifically for card prompts.
How many team members can I track in one planner?
The planner contains 240 pages, giving you enough space for approximately 6 months of weekly one-on-ones with 3-4 direct reports, or a full year with 1-2 team members. Many managers use one planner per direct report for maximum detail, while others section it off by team member using tabs or color coding.
I'm a new manager. Will this be overwhelming to implement?
Actually, it's perfect for new managers! The structured format takes the guesswork out of running effective one-on-ones. The guided prompts on each page ensure you cover all the important areas without having to remember what to ask. It's like having a management coach built into your meetings.
How long does it take to fill out during/after each meeting?
Most managers spend 2-3 minutes during the meeting jotting quick notes in the structured sections, then 5 minutes afterward completing action items and reflections. The format is designed for efficiency – checkboxes for quick tracking, dedicated spaces for key information, no need to write everything out longform.
Can this work for remote teams and virtual one-on-ones?
Absolutely. The planner works just as well for virtual meetings. Many remote managers keep it open during video calls to guide conversations and capture notes. The structure actually helps virtual one-on-ones feel more focused and productive, combating "Zoom fatigue" with purposeful dialogue.
What if my company already has a performance management system?
The planner complements existing systems perfectly. Use your company's tools for formal reviews and documentation, while the planner handles the week-to-week relationship building and development conversations that actually drive performance. Many managers find it helps them prepare better for formal reviews with documented examples and progress tracking.
How quickly will I see results with my team?
Most managers report immediate improvements in meeting quality, but the real magic happens around week 3-4 when patterns emerge and team members start opening up more. By the first quarterly checkpoint (3 months), you'll have clear documentation of progress, recurring challenges addressed, and measurably stronger relationships.
Is this only for one-on-ones or can I use it for other meetings?
While optimized for one-on-ones, many managers adapt it for skip-level meetings, mentoring sessions, and even project check-ins. The structured format and tracking features work well for any recurring meeting where relationship-building and development matter.
What if I mess up or want to reorganize how I'm using it?
The planner is designed to be flexible. The ribbon bookmarks make it easy to jump between sections, and the expandable pocket holds loose notes if you want to add or reorganize. Many managers develop their own system over time – there's no "wrong" way to use it as long as it's helping you have better conversations.
