Session Three: Alignment with Ren

This Week’s Focus

This week, our focus shifts to the importance of alignment. You'll learn a framework for discussing alignment, get tips for conducting effective 1:1s, and discover how Ren can assist in building alignment.

Live Session

We'll begin by identifying areas of misalignment you're currently experiencing, whether it's related to the purpose of a project or roles and responsibilities. Next, we'll introduce a framework to help you establish alignment. With Ren, we'll prepare for a 1:1 meeting, a key place to foster alignment. After the exercise, we'll take time to reflect, respond to any questions, and tackle challenges that emerged.
