Convincing your employer to invest in your professional development may seem harder than it actually is.
Believe it or not, it is (almost) all about asking for it, plus a few key steps that can help tap into the funds your organization has set aside for employee career development.
In today’s solo episode, Laura goes step by step over how to effectively ask for professional development sponsorship as well as the things you should know beforehand to make the most out of your conversation.
This is a wide-ranging episode about how to become knowledgeable of what you’re already being offered by your employer, how to get funding for your team’s development, how to provide more visibility for your team, and even how to ask for your manager’s support so you can prioritize time in this new stage.
