Most 1:1s start without any real foundation. Two people show up, run through a task list, and leave without ever naming how they actually want to work together. This tool changes that.
The Relational Agreement Tool is a structured, fillable framework designed to help managers and employees build a shared understanding of their 1:1 relationship — before the hard moments arrive. It covers how you'll communicate, how you'll give and receive feedback, how you'll raise difficult topics, and how you'll hold each other accountable with care.
It's not a form to file away. It's a living document — something you return to, revisit, and reset as the relationship grows.
What's inside: How we show up together · Creating psychological safety · Communication preferences · Feedback process · Meeting format and focus · Growth and development tracking · Review and reset prompts
Best for: Managers starting with a new team member, leaders wanting to reset an existing relationship, or anyone who believes good work starts with a good foundation.
Free. No strings. Just better conversations.
