Executive summary: While one-on-one (1:1) meetings at EA Global (EAG) and EAGx are generally positive and valuable, some attendees have reported negative experiences, prompting suggestions on how to improve punctuality, engagement, feedback delivery, professionalism, and personal boundaries to ensure productive and respectful interactions.
Key points:
Responding and punctuality: Accept or decline meetings promptly, notify partners if running late, and cancel respectfully to avoid wasting others’ time.
Managing energy and focus: Schedule breaks to prevent fatigue-related rudeness, be present and engaged during meetings, and acknowledge when feeling tired or distracted.
Providing constructive feedback: Offer feedback kindly and collaboratively, recognizing individuals’ personal considerations and decision-making contexts.
Maintaining professionalism: Avoid using EAG for dating, respect personal space, keep discussions appropriate, and refrain from commenting on appearance unless contextually relevant.
Navigating social cues: Adjust eye contact to avoid excessive intensity, be mindful of body language, and ensure focus remains on the conversation.
Meeting logistics: Consider whether walking or sitting is best for both parties, balancing comfort, note-taking ability, and accessibility needs.
