Our conversation preparation tool has been designed to help you as a manager prepare to have key conversations. We know that managing people wasn’t necessarily your goal in life and as a technical expert or professional dealing with the people element of your role is not the thing that perhaps comes most naturally. We also know you want to do a good job and be a great manager, yet don’t always want to be relying on others for help in the people arena. 

As a manager, the most effective tool you have at your disposal is a conversation. Someone wise once said that a problem only exists in the absence of a conversation, and we think they were right. We have pulled all the knowledge and experience of having good conversations and the common topics being discussed so you can tap into it just when you need to.

Just answer a few questions based on your current situation and the conversation you are preparing for and the tool will provide useful insight, advice, questions to ask and resources for you and your team to help you be the best you can be – to perform, develop, progress and thrive.
