Spark Your Career Development:
How to productively engage your manager in your professional growth
with Carole-Ann Penney
About the Workshop
Discussions with your manager about your career development can be confusing and awkward. Should you bring it up or wait for your manager to take the lead? How much should you share openly about your long-term interests? What should you do if these conversations aren’t happening at all?
If you want to grow as a professional, you’re going to need your manager’s buy-in and support to make it happen. In this session, we’ll break down when and how these all-important career development conversations should occur, who owns them, and what purpose they serve for you, your manager, and the company as a whole. We’ll strategize on how you can spark a dialogue without making it awkward and how you can engage your manager in helping you plan long-term career goals and tangible ways to make progress toward them.
You’ll walk away ready to engage your manager and take your career growth to a whole new level.
Top Takeaways:
A new appreciation for the value of career development conversations
How these conversations are different from other interactions with your manager
An understanding of the critical role you play in sparking these talks
Tools for managing up to guide these conversations

Meet Carole-Ann
I founded Penney Leadership to help mission-driven professionals navigate their work and lives with purpose and resilience.
As a Certified Professional Coach, I offer you all the resources and tools you need to become the confident leader of your own life and career. And as a formerly burned-out but “successful” leader who had to dive deep and design her own path, I understand. I’m here to help you uncover your authentic leadership style and create your own meaningful career path that aligns with who you are.
Beyond the Penney Leadership community, I mentor emerging leaders through Brown University’s Women’s Launch Pad, Social Enterprise Greenhouse, and the Institute for Nonprofit Practice.
When I’m not coaching (or listening to career podcasts and reading leadership books!), I'm developing the most important emerging leaders in my life — my kiddos Avery and Eliana.
