How often do you hold a **one-on-one meeting** **with your UPbook staff members?** You might not think of it as an important task compared with everything else you have to do at your practice, but make no mistake — **meetings are your ultimate leverage point.** If you can have a short meeting with a staff member, and then that staff member goes on to do **highly productive work** for the next few weeks, **that was a high-leverage task for you!**

Let’s take a look at **the ultimate one-on-one meeting framework** that you can use at your UPbook organization:

### **Step 1: Connection**

The first step is to **make a personal connection** with the staff member you’re meeting with. This makes it clear that **this isn’t a formal review**, but an honest check-in. You don’t have to delve too deep, but ask them how their family is doing, and **how their position is fitting in with their personal life** outside of work. You’ll be surprised at the insights you’ll receive that can impact your entire UPbook business.

### **Step 2: Inspiration**

Now it’s time to **understand your UPbook staff member’s perspective** on a deeper level. Get into their headspace by asking questions like “Where do you see yourself going with this position?” and “Are you interested in **taking this position in a different direction?”** Now, you’re both on the same page with **what the staff member really wants.**

### **Step 3: Alignment**

This stage is where your UPbook staff member’s desires and needs **start to align with the overall business goals** of your veterinary practice. Use discussion points like:

- What are you focusing on at the moment?
- What are your priorities?
- Here’s what I’m thinking the priorities are and how you can help achieve them…

By aligning the staff member’s goals with your UPbook vet practice’s priorities, **you’re making everyone happy.**

### **Step 4: Reflection**

**Nothing is more counterproductive** during a meeting like this than random feedback. Instead, **keep a running tally** during your meeting so that you can reflect on the points with your UPbook staff member right away. Ask them how they think a certain situation was handled, or **how a decision impacted the business** as a whole. You’ll be amazed at the kind of frank insights you get in return!

### **Step 5: Feedback**

The final stage **turns the focus to you.** Ask your UPbook staff member for honest feedback on your own performance with questions like “If you were me, **what would you change** about the practice?” and “Do you have any feedback on **how I could be a better leader?”**

Your UPbook staff member will leave this meeting **feeling understood, appreciated, and energized.** And you’ll have a better understanding of their mindset and priorities. That makes for a **high-leverage meeting** that will have a real impact.
