The job in front of you Sound familiar?
Manager conversations focus on task updates, with little time for the employee's concerns.
Managers need questions and a meeting structure they can use.
Difficult feedback turns into judgement or an argument instead of a clear next step.
You need to introduce regular 1:1 meetings and explain their value to leadership.
What you will have after the course
A meeting structure managers can use
Choose the meeting purpose, prepare an agenda and select questions about work, relationships and development.
A guide for coaching and feedback
Use GROW questions and the situation, behaviour, result structure. Agree specific actions with the employee.
A company rollout proposal
Prepare the business case, resources and expected benefits. Plan manager training, monitoring and reporting.

- In 1:1 meetings in PapaHR every manager–employee pair has its rhythm, the next meeting, open agreements and mood.

What graduates of the academy say
Graduates of related Mike Pritula Academy courses, from the surveys they fill in when they get the diploma.
“I liked the many examples of how to behave in conflicts and how to prevent and resolve them early. It helped me refresh my approach to conflict and feel more confident in those situations.”
Course: Conflict Resolution · Profile on LinkedIn
“I noticed I’d become better at reading people’s mood and emotional state, which helped me adjust how I communicate. Without regular practice, knowledge stays just theory.”
Course: Emotional Intelligence · Profile on LinkedIn
“The training also changed the way I see my role as an HR professional. I started applying some of the approaches almost immediately — when working with managers and challenging employees, conducting 1:1 meetings and coaching sessions, and resolving workplace conflicts.”
Course: People Partner · Profile on LinkedIn
“HRBP isn’t about “processes for the sake of processes” — it’s about speaking to the business in the language of numbers and strategy. The practical cases helped me roll out new analysis tools while I was still studying.”
