Bring your own prioritized agenda and go through it. Recommend printed copy to minimize distractions from screens. Having a rapport and chatting about personal stuff is great for building a relationship and trust but keep bringing the conversation back to the agenda until everything has been addressed. You can generally copy/paste these from meeting to meeting and just make the necessary updates/changes so stuff doesn't fall through the cracks. Be sure to include accomplishments - having a history of your 1:1 agendas can be very useful when it comes to review time and needing to remember everything you did for the past year. Flag problems early on and indicate if/how you need them to intercede/escalate. Green/yellow/red (or whatever scheme you like) indicators can be useful here for "all good", "advising of problem but I have action I'm taking on my own" and "I need your help" at a glance. Make sure you ask for feedback and be open to both praise and criticism. Try to get some kind of action plan put together for growth/development and keep tabs on how you're addressing it.
