Career Coaching for Managers
Engage, Develop & Retain
Your Employees
is one of the top drivers of productivity engagement and retention of high potentials and performers.
Yet it is one of the neglected areas, often scoring lowly in engagement surveys.
Employees want to grow and develop.
But managers shy away because we think we need to have all the answers.

Participant's Perspective
What Our Clients Say
I enrolled into career coaching course through my company. The course depth was good; not too lengthy and overwhelming. Throughout the course, we have the opportunities to role play in small groups enabling us to practice what we learnt. Trainer is professional and share her thoughts whenever she felt it could be better. She also help us with our queries and share her personal experience of handling situations where we are experiencing. If you have not attended any career coaching course, I strongly recommend you to attend this course to give yourself a breakthrough to be a better manager.
Cora Leong
Manager
As a HR Practitioner, I found the content and style of the workshop very useful in managing career development conversation with employees. The content has an easy flow of guided and impactful questions for managers when dealing with conversations which can be difficult or at times uninformative in drawing feedback from employees. Wendy (the trainer) used some very practical examples to help relate to the topics and I feel I learnt a great deal, which I have put to use at work pretty quickly as I manage career conversations with my staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
​
Design Improvements in the 1.5-day Programme
With more time in this updated version, participants will be engaged in more experiential activities such as role-play activities with feedback from the trainer and fellow participants. They will also engage in discussions on the practical challenges they could face in having these conversations.
The half-day can either be designed right after the workshop (so back-to-back) or 2-3 weeks after the workshop. The latter design is recommended as it gives participants some time to practice. It also increases accountability, gives them an opportunity to share successes and challenges and the trainer can guide them through specific challenges in their application.
​
The assessment methods in this design are short written questions and role play. These are conducted on the ½ day, so it is essential for the participants to attend the ½ day to be eligible for the funding. There will not be 1:1 virtual assessments in this 1.5 day design.
