I've always thought that it's a form of animal cruelty to have people stuck in offices forced to sit through all meetings etc. when many 1 on 1 or other small meetings for creative purposes could be conducted while out walking.


I take about half of my direct reports for 1:1 outside when I can. Seattle winters sometimes makes that pretty tough, of course...


I agree with you — some of my best meetings have been walking — but it's less natural in the era of remote work.


If your neighborhood is walkable and decently quiet, walking on a phone call can work for 1:1s.

I've had some very nice phone meetings with either or both parties walking. Some with a good old fashioned cellphone call, and some with FaceTime Audio and decent headphones for startlingly good voice quality.

Also good for those all-hands or update meetings where you're just listening.
