1on1 meetings are the perfect opportunity to build a healthy relationship between management and other team staff members. When executed properly, companies can learn and grow from these routine check-ins based on feedback generated from these meetings. But, when misled or unfulfilled, these opportunities can turn into disaster areas. Team Members can develop feelings of resentment or neglect, which can result in poor performance later on down the road. To avoid this, let’s talk about a few ways to keep 1on1s effective, efficient, transparent, and fun. Let’s get started.

Last Thursday, the GSATi Family took a trip down to Denton's brand new co-working space, Stoke Denton, for the 3rd Annual Bootstrap Denton hosted by our dear friends of TechMill. Friends, family, and colleagues gathered together under one roof for a night of networking and community support for Denton's rapid-growing tech community.

We saved our firewood and our voice by going the digital route of creating a Wassail Weekend social media campaign for the Denton Main Street Association.

Nowadays, the public, and even businesses, are swamped with choices of computers, and this extends all the way down to folks with kids.

I have lived in Denton County since 2002 when I first moved to Lewisville. After a brief stay there I moved to Denton and began to raise my family here for the next 10 years. Denton is a fabulous city and the company I work at, GSATi, has been a blessing in many ways. In my time in Denton, I have made it a point to get involved with City/County service by acquainting myself with local leaders, and offering to help in any way that I can. I decided to be a part of working for solutions, versus being a part of the problem by not getting involved. That service started first with the DCTA Citizen Advisory Team.
