Career Conversations

Career Coaching Skills for Managers & Mentors

Worried about losing your best people?

We all know that our best talent are ambitious, focussed and keen to progress. In a talent hungry market, how do we ensure that their dialogue about their next steps is with us, rather than the recruiters? 

Career Conversations programme is for forward-thinking leaders and managers who understand that openness around career goals leads to a culture people thrive in.

Our unique and practical Career Equation model makes it easy for managers, leaders and recruiters to get under the skin of what matters most to the person in front of you. When people feel heard, they build loyalty. When they confide in you about what matters to them, you’re better able to align their goals with those of the business. That way you can build a job design and tailor feedback and development to line up with their aspirations and interests – and thus, keep them for longer. 

On our Career Conversations course, you’ll learn the tools and techniques needed to hold effective and open career conversations. With this, you’ll be able to help map out a future that focuses exclusively on progress and development within your firm, not elsewhere.
