Your 1:1 is where alignment happens.
It’s where goals become clear, feedback flows both ways, and small conversations turn into real progress.
Dual Dash is designed to make these meetings simple, consistent, and useful — not awkward or performative.
Here’s how to show up prepared.
Sync Your Calendar
If your organization uses Outlook, start by syncing your calendar.
This ensures recurring 1:1 meetings created in Dual Dash appear directly on your calendar.
To connect your calendar:
• Go to My Account
• Select Calendar Integration
• Choose Connect Outlook
• Authorize the integration
In some organizations, you may need permission from your IT Specialist to approve the connection.
Once connected, Dual Dash will automatically keep your meetings aligned with your calendar.
Before Your 1:1
Add Agenda Items
Open your upcoming 1:1 and add anything you'd like to discuss.
This might include:
• questions
• updates
• roadblocks
• wins
• feedback
You don’t need a long list.
Just bring what matters.
Nothing to Add
Sometimes everything is already clear.
In that case, select “Nothing to Add.”
Using it signals:
“I’m good. No blockers. Ready to check in.”
You’re never required to manufacture conversation.
The goal is alignment, not filling space.
Review Goals and Action Items
Take a moment to review:
• current goals
• tasks you’ve committed to
• previous action items
This helps keep the conversation grounded in real work.
During Your 1:1
You’ll walk through the agenda together.
Along the way, you may:
• update progress
• capture commitments
• share recognition
• talk through challenges
• align on next steps
Dual Dash helps structure the conversation.
But it’s still your meeting.
Be honest. Be present. Be specific.
After Your 1:1
Once the meeting is completed:
• action items are saved
• notes are captured
• commitments carry forward into the next conversation
This is how coaching becomes consistent instead of reactive.
Meeting Quality
Dual Dash tracks a Meeting Quality Score.
The score reflects preparation and participation in the meeting — things like:
• adding agenda items
• reviewing the agenda ahead of time
• completing action items
The goal isn’t to grade meetings.
It’s to encourage preparation so conversations stay focused and valuable.
Privacy and Trust
Some parts of your 1:1 are shared.
Others are private.
Tools like Sentiment and Stress help leaders understand how their teams are doing — not to police individuals.
Your voice matters here.

Now that you’ve completed your first 1:1, you’ll begin to see how everything connects.

Each has its own guide.
