It's hard to comment on something this general. 1-1 meetings come in so many different contexts. One thing that I think is universal is what questions you ask and how good you are at listening. I offer one idea which is if you want to amplify whatever 1-1 meeting you have take it out of the room/building. Go for a walk, pretend you need to run out to the pharmacy and bring them along, get a coffee or drink. Be creative. I've had 1-1 meetings that were useless (Zoom is generally bad) and some that were transformative. It does take two to tango but you can at least bring your dancing shoes!
