About this listen
You schedule a career conversation and both of you immediately feel that slight dread. You ask where they see themselves in five years. They give a polished answer that means nothing. You both tick the box and move on. Nothing actually changes. This episode of Career Espresso is about having career conversations that actually help people—not as a performance review exercise or a tick-box requirement, but as a genuine conversation about what's possible and what you can do to support them.
- Why career conversations feel awkward or surface-level for most leaders
- What people actually need from these conversations (it's not "where do you see yourself in five years?")
- How to ask questions that open up real conversation instead of extracting rehearsed answers
- What to do when someone doesn't know what they want
- How to support growth without making promises you can't keep
Perfect for women leaders who want these conversations to feel useful instead of awkward.
