    ## 1:1s
    * Weekly, very rarely cancelled, even if nothing specific to discuss
    * Keep an agenda, but light
    * "is there anything you want to talk about, and is there anything I can do for you?"
    * Running document of things we have discussed/want to discuss
    * Your meeting, but i will help drive
    * Private conversation unless necessary to share something with another manager
    * Will start at 30m and adjust to longer or shorter as needed.
    * Check in is for the person, not the work.
    * coaching, unblocking, helping you grow
    * providing feedback, discussing plans and doubts, etc.

    ## Growth
    * You will drive it, but I am here to help if you want it
    * I will always be clear in my expectations

    ## Communication
    * All communications, tech discussions, etc should be in a channel
    * Public unless personal matters
    * More accessible, better for async
    * Documentation is communication

    ## Notes
    * Watch for overworking, easy to do when remote
    * Encourage time off and breaks
    * Be available
    * Feedback first, then strategic, then tactical.
