What does Lighthouse do?

Have Great 1 on 1s

Great 1 on 1s are your best tool to boost morale and get the most from your team, yet many waste them. Get beyond status updates, to awesome, motivating 1 on 1s in good times & bad:

Quick prep so you’re always prepared, and easily add things as you think of them in Slack, your email, or on the go with our mobile app.
Organize everything in 1 place for you, instead of across dozens of hard to quickly find docs and files.
Suggestions Questions to open up even the most introverted, solicit great ideas to improve your team or company, and build trust with everyone.
Easily set action items for next time so you keep all your promises, and ensure even your underperformers do theirs.

Help Your People Grow

Study after study by Deloitte, Gallup, and others, show growth & development is the #1 perk people want, yet few are getting it despite how inexpensive it is. Lighthouse helps you:

Lay out a plan together to show how they can grow in their existing role, or know they’re ready for promotion.
Align their work & motivations by making it a regular conversation, instead of forgotten outside review time.

“Lighthouse is a great tool I’ve been using for over a year that helps with my 1:1s. I’d highly recommend you check it out.”

Mathias Meyer, CEO at Travis-CI
“I had 2 team members that struggled, and I was able to use 1:1s in Lighthouse to spot patterns of concern and then address in a clear manner, creating action items for improvement, and follow up in more frequent 1:1s documenting improvement. And through this both team members improved and have excelled.”

Anna Brozek, Operations Director at Big Cartel
"I have gotten feedback from multiple people complimenting me on how extremely fast I have grown as a leader and how much easier it is to work at the office. Lighthouse was the main key factor to this success, and I recommend any leader looking to grow just as fast to use Lighthouse as well."

Henrik Hussfelt, CTO at Linas Matkasse
“Lighthouse has an amazing Slack integration...it has taken my team's 1 on 1s to the next level! I highly recommend it.”

Valentina Thoerner, Happiness Team Lead at Automattic
“Lighthouse is solving a massive problem for anyone managing a team...Since we started doing 1 on 1s with Lighthouse, the team has never been more productive.”

Marc Held, CEO at Weft
“I had an employee tell me, “at my last company, we had one on ones too, but they were constantly re-scheduled and my manager was always rushed, it’s only doing them here that I actually understand the point of them.” And I want to make sure we don’t slip into that in the future.”

Zac Cramer, Owner at IT Assurance
“Lighthouse saved me! :) The team is more motivated than ever to tackle everything in our way. I'm so grateful about your advice, your software and your blog, which are tremendous sources of inspiration for me.”

Ladislas de Toldi, CEO of Leka
