Experienced Manager

Career Conversations

4-12
Bite-size (2 hours) / One day

Career development is a shared responsibility between organisation, manager and team member. In this practical and interactive workshop, we will show managers how to facilitate a career conversation that helps team members define what comes next.

We identify the questions to ask, helping team members explore where they are now, where they want to go and what it’ll take to get there. Manager and team member work together to explore what matters most, then lock-in clear development actions.

At their best, they build capability, sharpen ambition and unlock potential, encouraging people to take ownership of their career.

Who is this suitable for?

Suitable for any managers responsible for facilitating great career conversations.

  • Identify everyday opportunities to develop team members in their current roles
  • Focus on some of the more challenging career conversations a manager could face, including unrealistic expectations, low self awareness and apathy
