Today's guest is Octavia Goredema, career coach and author of "Prep, Push, Pivot." Teresa and Octavia discuss how to make the most of one-on-one meetings with your boss.

They discuss how to plan and make sure you're getting the most out of the one-on-one time to ensure your future.

Here are the steps to maximize your time :

1. Work with your manager to determine how the agenda for your meetings will be created and reflect on your priorities and professional development goals.  2. During your meetings, use your body language to underscore your words and your actions.  3. Be a good listener, embrace feedback, and default to solving problems.  4. Use your time after your one-on-ones to consider areas where you can focus, adapt, or make improvements moving forward.
