A variety of work assignments

To engender such an environment:

Find a private, comfortable spot for the discussions

Allow plenty of time - a rushed sense will not help build rapport

Make sure you listen as you establish a two-way conversation

Ensure that any goals set are clear and attainable

Outline the next steps and responsibilities for each step
