At my workplace we are given a template, which is primarily status reports. Since it is supposed to be my meeting I proposed allowing me to use my own discussion items. This was agreed to. We have meetings once a month. I jot down thoughts when they occur during the month and then discuss them in the meeting. Discussion items include:
- What am I excited about
- Where do I want to go/grow in my position/career
- Any clarifications need to be made
- Any problems or frustrations
I rarely look forward to these meetings, but I usually find them helpful. A lot of items get discussed which never would have been, which is of great benefit to me, the department and management.
