Stop Replaying the Past in Your 1:1s

Traditional feedback looks backward. Feedforward helps people perform better before the next meeting, decision, or project.

This downloadable field guide gives managers a simple way to turn everyday work into forward-looking coaching moments, without formal reviews, scripts, or uncomfortable feedback conversations.

Inside, you’ll find:

• A quick map for identifying the next performance moment
• Feedforward questions that actually move work forward
• Language swaps that lower defensiveness and increase clarity
• A five-minute loop that fits naturally into regular 1:1s
• If you or your managers want 1:1s to feel more helpful and less heavy, start here.
