one-on-ones
Two-person discussions only
One-on-ones are private meetings between two people, typically a manager and direct report or a mentor and mentee.
The term emphasizes the individual attention: We have weekly one-on-ones to discuss progress.
In sports, one-on-ones are situations where a single offensive player faces a single defender: He's unstoppable in one-on-ones.
