Career Conversations:
From Waiting to GROW
Part of the Difficult Conversations fireside chat series
A 45-minute expert conversation on how to help someone grow into their career rather than just wait for it.
Career Conversations: From Waiting to GROW is part of our Difficult Conversations fireside chat series for leaders who care about building a culture where the difficult conversations actually happen – and produce something. This live, facilitated series introduces the coaching leadership skills that turn career conversations and the moments most leaders handle too narrowly into real points of connection, possibility and momentum.
Aimed at people leaders at every level and the accredited coaches and professionals supporting them, the series is for anyone ready to develop the soft skills a coaching leadership style depends on.

Even with strong leadership frameworks and talent processes in place, many organizations still face:
-
Career conversations that stay surface-level and leave the person no clearer than before
-
People leaders who mistake a development plan for a real conversation about where someone wants to go
-
Capable people stuck in a holding pattern because no one has helped them see the full picture
-
Senior leaders who can hold the boardroom, but not an honest conversation about someone's next move
These issues aren't about process. They're about people.
What you’ll gain from attending Career Conversations: From Waiting to GROW
During this 45-minute session you will:
• Understand why career conversations so often leave people feeling stuck — and what shifts when a leader opens up the full landscape
• Pick up practical conversation tools you can apply in your next one-to-one
• Learn how to explore the full range of someone's options
• Experience a live mini coaching demo that turns a career conversation into a moment of growth
The conversation that feels awkward to have is often the one that changes everything
Coaching is what turns a conversation about what's next into a pivot about what's possible. This Difficult Conversations fireside chat shows you how, with tools to take into the next career conversation on your calendar.
