I've received a number of questions recently on how to have regular dialogue with employees.

On today's episode, how to have the most effective one-on-one meetings.

This is Coaching for Leaders, episode 246.

Produced by Innovate Learning, Maximizing Human Potential. potential. and I'm your host Dave Stahoviac. Leaders aren't born, they're made and this

weekly show will give you access to the best thinkers, resources, and actions that will help you to develop your leadership skills.

And if you're tuning in for the first time, welcome to coaching for leaders.

And if you're coming back, I'm sure one of the things that you've navigated in your own leadership

and working within teams and organizations is how to really connect well in a very intentional way and in even a structured way with the people that are

working internal in your organization of how do you have those good quality interactions, those one-on-ones, the kinds of things we all

know that we should be doing on a regular basis but in my experiences when

talking with leaders a lot of us aren't doing as

proactively as we could and that's why I'm really pleased to be able to welcome

our guest today because he has walked the talk in his own

organization has faced many of the struggles that many of us face in leading and

running organizations and also has a great model that he's built around

growing a team and helping a successful organization to be even more successful.

And that person is ZVie Band. ZVie founded the company,

Contactually, back in 2011 with two co-founders,

contactually helps you build stronger relationships

with the people who can make you successful, which we'll talk more about in this conversation.

And in addition to being an engineer and CEO, Svee works actively to foster a strong tech community in the Washington, D.C. area where he's based.

ZVie, I'm so glad to get connected with you.
