What do I talk about with the CEO?

I work for a company of around 70 people. The CEO has mentioned that he'd like to have one-on-one meetings with employees beyond his direct reports. The CEO has told me directly he thinks it'd be good if he and I did this. My manager has said, independently, that she thinks it'd be good if the CEO and I did this. I don't have anything to talk about right now, how do I do this?
The CEO is very accessible so it's not a problem for me to go to him if there's some feedback I want to give or if I want to get his input on something. But there's value in having regularly scheduled meetings, and I want to learn how to check in with him every few weeks. I guess my personality is such that I don't go to people above me unless there's a specific concern to talk through, so I'm struggling to wrap my mind around what actionable things to talk about.
A few other details:
- We're a software development company, and I'm one of maybe three employees who has been on the customer side of things in our industry.
- I'm a senior technical employee, and one of a handful who has experience working for other development companies.
- We tend to bring in new employees as interns and train them up through the ranks, which is great, but it also means that I feel like we're missing a lot of "real-world" and industry experience. At times it seems that we're reinventing too many wheels that are solved problems in the greater software dev world.
- The bulk of development happens in a different office than mine, so while I probably have experience to help improve inefficiencies that come up, I usually only hear about big picture problems in team meetings.
- I have 1-2 internal project meetings a week that the CEO sits in, so I feel like I have a decent amount of face time with him already
Maybe this is a simple question. But how do I have regular one-on-one meetings like this when I don't have a clear direction in mind for what I'd be talking about? |
