Run your first 1:1

This walks through one 1:1 from beginning to end.

Twenty-four hours before the meeting, Mora emails your report a private link with four questions. This happens for every 1:1 you schedule, and you don’t need to do anything.

If your first 1:1 is less than 24 hours away, you can send the link yourself from the meeting’s Prep page, under Pre-meeting check-in.

On the Today page, select the upcoming 1:1 in the week strip. You can also use Next up in the navigation, which always points at your next meeting.

The Prep page holds:

SectionWhat it contains
Last 1:1Mora’s summary of your previous conversation. Empty the first time
Suggested for this 1:1Mora’s suggested agenda items, drawn from recent notes, past agendas, and open goals
AgendaWhat you’ll cover. Add your own items here
NotesFree-form, private to you
Pre-meeting check-inThe link, its status, and their answers once they reply

Add a few items. Two or three is enough for a first 1:1. Mora’s suggestions appear as tiles — select Add to move one onto your agenda, then reword it if you want.

You’ll answer each agenda item during the meeting, so phrase them as topics to discuss rather than as tasks.

Select Start meeting on the Prep page. This opens meeting mode, which shows:

  • your agenda, one item at a time — answer each as you go, then select the question to collapse it
  • a free-form notes field for anything off the agenda
  • What’s on their mind, with their check-in answers

Notes save as you type. Nothing on this screen is shown to your report.

Select Exit meeting. The wrap-up screen has four parts:

  1. What moved — the goals you discussed. Update progress, close one, or add a new one.
  2. Your notes, still editable, for anything you meant to write down.
  3. How it landed — select Good, Okay, or Tough. This is for your own reference over time, not a rating of the person.
  4. Next time’s agenda — Mora drafts this from what you wrote. Edit it, then select Finish & complete 1:1.

That draft agenda is waiting on the next meeting’s Prep page.

The wrap-up is what produces the summary of this meeting and updates Mora’s read on the person. If you leave a 1:1 unwrapped, a banner appears across the top of the app until you finish it.

  • Mora writes a summary of the meeting, shown on the next 1:1’s Prep page
  • Mora rebuilds its read on your working relationship with that person
  • The next meeting in the schedule appears on your calendar and on Today
  • Twenty-four hours before it, the next check-in goes out

Once a meeting is in the past, you can read its agenda and notes but not change them. Write what you need while the meeting is still open, or during the wrap-up.

Meetings you’ve already run have a Reset button. Reset returns the meeting to scheduled so you can run it again, but it deletes the notes and the “how it landed” answer, and it cannot be undone. Use it when a meeting was started by mistake, not to correct a typo.
