The Unstuck Box: One to Ones

I love the categories and questions in the one-to-one box. I've used them to help me get out of the same ole, same ole questions so that I can further develop those with whom I meet. This helps them and our company grow! I only gave four stars because I would love for this to be in a downloadable list to avoid searching through the cards. That can get tedious and a list would be more efficient.

I have been doing 1on1s for years with my employees and I want to this school year increase the value of 1on1s. The unstuck box allows me to deepen the conversation with my employees. I have tried it on a few employees and our coversation has been deeper and more productive.

I came across this resource as I was scrolling through instagram. I ordered the One to Ones box. I have started using them weekly in my meetings with my direct reports to help engage and switch up the conversation. I must say, the questions are engaging, thoughtful, and helpful! Adding this has created depth to our discussions and helped create conversations that, otherwise might not have been asked or might have become a more difficult conversation.

I received my one to ones box today, read through all the cards and cannot wait to start using them with my team! There are so many great discussion questions to help build up a team.

### Review of The Unstuck Box: One to Ones

I recently purchased The Unstuck Box: One to Ones for my boss, who excels in philosophy and building relationships but has some challenges in people management. As a Marine Corps officer with a background in human resources and leadership, I know how crucial effective management is, especially in high-stress environments like ours. I was initially nervous about giving this box to my boss, unsure how it would be received or even if it would be used.

The Unstuck Box provided a structured yet flexible approach to one-on-one meetings, something my boss had struggled with. The tools and prompts were straightforward, making it easy to foster meaningful and productive conversations. We were able to use it for our teams and on one other... I even used it seamlessly in conversation with my colleagues.

One of the standout features was the emphasis on personal and professional development. The box encouraged my boss to engage in deeper conversations that aligned with his philosophical strengths, allowing him to connect better with the team on an individual level. The feedback from our team has been overwhelmingly positive, noting that they feel more heard and understood.

In the Marine Corps, where clear communication and strong leadership are paramount, The Unstuck Box: One to Ones has been a game-changer. It has equipped my boss with the tools to become a more effective manager, blending his natural strengths with practical management skills. I highly recommend this box to anyone looking to improve their leadership and management capabilities, regardless of their current skill level.

How often do we begin staff meeting with “How are you? What do you have for the team?” This broad question without direction isn’t leading. These cards gave fresh new perspectives on how to initiate thoughtful conversations with staff.

The Unstuck Box: One to Ones

Love this Unstuck Box! Its a great help to get the juices flowing and provide a framework for a connection conversation!

It helps to understand them on a different level.

Great tool for one-on-one meetings to keep the conversations fun and interesting. The different categories help with the 30, 60 and 90 day check-in meetings to provide talking points to keep the meeting productive and engaging. My employee said they never used a card game to aide in facilitation of meetings. The feedback was positive and well received.
