The Unstuck Box®: One to Ones

Just started using these during one on one's. These have changed the conversations into much more insightful discussions.

I have been holding 1:1s for four years with department managers. The questions in these packs have helped me bump the needle and give variety to our meetings. We just started to explore avenues that we've not been to yet.

I find these cards a great tool when having conversations with my team.
Sometimes you find yourself asking similar questions, whereas these can help you take a different route and discuss things you wouldn't normally.

I wish I would have found Unstuck years ago! I had my first team meeting using Unstuck cards and it was a huge success! Feedback was that they wish I’d had that meeting a month ago!

I brought this box to tailor and elevate my 1 to 1s and was not disappointed. I'm using them to train my 2IC and have recommended this to upper management as a good resource for new managers in the company. Cannot speak highly enough of it.

I bought this box because I was looking for inspiration for 1-1s with my staff to have deeper, more effective conversations. I’m beyond excited to start using this box this month. I can already sense that it will help uplift the quality of my 1-1s.

I bought these as I was interested in making my 121 meetings more meaningful. I tried them out yesterday with my manager and my team, and the consensus was that these cards make an excellent additional element to our meetings - a fun but really useful and tangible extra dimension.

My team loves using the… It forces us to have critical discussions and form group consensus on information that previously was just swept under the rug or left to fester.

The Unstuck Box®: One to Ones

I’ve implemented the Unstuck Box in my one on ones and my new employee 90 day evaluations so far. I’ve been so pleased with the conversations they initiate, creating a comfortable space to talk about hard things that may not otherwise have been discussed. The questions are light and conversational and take the weight off our meetings. I was looking for something that would help create a more engaged space with my team, and I’m thrilled to say this is exactly what I was looking for!

As someone seasoned in one-on-ones and supervision, I didn’t expect a box of prompt cards to shake things up, but The Unstuck Box did just that. It’s been brilliant for opening up meaningful conversations, especially with people new to these spaces who aren’t quite sure what to say (or where to look).

The prompts are thoughtful, surprising, and disarming in the best way.

There are a lot of cards, arranged in to groups that trigger conversations. I have found them useful as neither my colleague or I are big on small talk and it's given us a starting point.

I saw the Unstuck ad on Instagram and was intrigued. As a GenX'er with multiple GenZ and Millennial direct reports, it's sometimes difficult for me to draw out what they're goals are and how I can best support them. Using the Unstuck 1:1 cards, I have them pick a few and it gives us new and interesting talking points during each of our sessions. The results - so far so good! And my direct reports have all given the cards a thumbs up for improving our discussions. Thanks Unstuck!

The Unstuck One-to-One Cards have been a great tool—really helpful for sparking better conversations with new team members and getting people thinking in new ways. They’ve made my catchups smoother and more focused. Their customer service has been great—super friendly and quick to respond.

I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I could use these cards to engage with my team. I’ve been able to use some of these questions as a point to consider during regularly scheduled 1:1s but they have also helped shape some strategic planning efforts that we are engaging with for staff professional development. I’d highly recommend. I found myself using them as a manager but also reflecting as an employee.

Great tool for managers stuck on what to stay, new managers and managers looking to build rapport

These cards have been really useful when the conversation stalls or I've ran out of topics in a 1:1. I hate ending them early as I feel that it's important to really spend the full 30 minutes with my direct report so having these to prompt talking points and get us discussing topics we wouldn't usually gotten on to has been fantastic. They've been so useful on taking a discussion from small talk into the deeper topics.

Handy, high quality cards, with useful go-to questions to open up supervision discussions. Plenty of variety for different situations.

The cards provide so many different ideas for opening up conversations. I read through the whole pack when I bought them and every one has a well-considered question.
I love the colour-coding as it makes it easier when you know you want to focus on a particular theme. I've used them in 121s and also just for general discussion.
Having the cards to hand is perfect as an aide memoire rather than trying to think of different ways to stimulate a great 121 discussion when work is busy and your imagination is struggling.

Have found this to be a great way to inject a fresh vibe into my one-to-ones, and invite upwards feedback on my management to ensure the people I'm leading are getting the best experience. Love the variations in questions, and have also brought them into one-to-ones to invite the people I'm leading to select 5 cards at random for our session.

I loe the unstuck box when meeting with my team, I have them pick a category and then we both answer the question. It’s allowed me to have a deeper conversation and get to know those I lead that much better.

Not sure why I’m being asked for a review when I didn’t receive the items I ordered.

😞

Really great way to dive deeper into one on one meetings with team members and talk about things that matter.

As a manager with differing personalities on my team I found this box very helpful in going deeper to get better quality of answer and build trust with my team. One simple question I’m using ask the time now “ how are things outs side of work” this gives me a better understanding of where my team are at. Highly recommend.

I have a team of nurse educators and with the current growth I was looking for some tools to enrich my one on one sessions with them. This deck exceeded my expectations and offers great questions to create more in-depth thinking and learning. I also purchased the team building set and the performance improvement set. All are highly recommended!

As I get ready to start a new performance year with a remote, global team around me, this has supported me with targeted questions to support each individual in a different way - so handy & easy to use!

This little box of tricks is great to help me to start natural conversations with my team to help both sides to have a really productive conversation. Thanks Unstuck!
