Grow Commitment through Relationships

One-to-ones are a crucial element of community organising and building power. They’re how we share stories, build relationships, and understand our shared resources – behind every win is a history of one-to-ones.

This training explores what makes a good one-to-one and why they are important in organising. Through practical exercises, you'll explore how to get the most out of your one-to-ones by finding shared values, interests and resources, and asking people to make commitments. We will also cover scaling your one-to-ones and navigating challenges and opportunities that might arise. After this training, you will leave with a clear sense of how to use one-to-ones to build collective power and develop leadership.

Outcomes:

• Understand what a one-to-one is and its strategic purpose. 
• Practise how to do one-to-ones and overcome potential challenges. 
• Reflect on how you can apply these principles to your own work.

This training is part of our foundations series, designed for both new and experienced organisers who are ready to develop practical organising skills. We recommend taking the introduction training first to understand the core concepts of transformative community organising.
