This week we hear from two of our teammates in our Voyager Division in Connecticut—Amanda Szychulski, Clinical Coordinator, and Dora Harris, Group Facility Administrator. Amanda and Dora share with us their experience around the Power of 1:1 Check-ins. One of the biggest takeaways from practicing 1:1s regularly is that this is key in building relationships. Amanda’s one tip: Lead with your heart and before going into a conversation, treat the person on the other end of the conversation the way you’d like to be treated. Dora’s one tip: add the 1:1 appointment on your calendar and hold yourself accountable. If you have to miss it—move it! Don’t just skip it.

“These are powerful because it gives your team time with you, and time can be one of your most valuable resources. It gives you the opportunity to get to know them on a personal level.”
