1:1s are a dedicated time and space to talk about anything and everything you wish.

• 1:1s are essential:
  • 30 minutes.
  • Scheduled.
  • Every week.
  • Never (or very rarely) skipped.
  • Sometimes moved.
• It's your meeting, so you will lead it.

We will have a shared document of some sort to:

• Keep notes.
• Raise issues for discussion in our next 1:1.
• To keep track of our actions.
• Track your development goals.

1:1s are primarily for you, secondarily for me. Sometimes we will just shoot the breeze, and that's fine, but generally we will cover three things.

1) You to me

• What's going on (in and out of work).
• Do you need any help?
• How are you feeling (it's completely OK to be both grumpy and jubilant).
• Don't wait for a 1:1 to raise something important to you.
• Any feedback for me?
• What can I do better?

2) Me to you

• Feedback.
• Any cascading updates.
• Confirmation of our priorities.
