Overview
The world of work has changed drastically in the last decade and as a result, navigating one’s career has become much more ambiguous. Managers play a critical role in empowering career ownership with their teams and in doing so, they can effectively drive engagement, accountability and growth.
Despite this, managers often share their discomfort in engaging in career conversations as they fear they don’t have the right answers, that upward opportunities are limited, and time is scarce.
This session is designed to give leaders an understanding of today’s career landscape as well as their role as a manager in supporting their employees’ career development. It covers the key skills needed to drive engagement, including coaching, providing feedback and championing.
Managers are also provided tools to deepen their coaching conversations while applying their learning to real- life challenges they may face with their employees.
