The Art of the “One-on-One”
John O’Reilly reflects on this fundamental organizing tool, and how to do it right.
The one-on-one meeting is the quintessential tool of the organizer. The one-on-one meeting is used so frequently in organizing campaigns that it’s usually abbreviated by organizers tired of typing it out (such as myself) simply as the “1on1.” To understand what makes a good 1on1 happen, it’s worth delving into detail about some components which make up the 1on1 and how to understand them.

The Need For Public Space - How We forgot To Stay

"Disagreement is organic matter. Kept in a closed system, among

people who cannot easily walk away from you, it breaks down into

something that feeds the relationship. This is the actual machinery of

belonging.

Healthy disagreement, the kind that never once threatens your place in

the group, is how we compost our emotions. It is how trash becomes

trust. It is how a friendship proves to you that it is real".
