Conversation note

Client conversations energise Sanne, and she would like to practise supporting a new colleague.

Development agreement
Sanne will support a new colleague in two client conversations. Her manager will help choose the conversations. In four weeks, they will discuss what Sanne learned and whether she would like to take on a mentoring role more often.

The cycle

From preparation to follow-up

Make development part of conversations about everyday work.

01

Prepare

Employees and managers add topics to the shared agenda. Use insights about skills, energy and ambitions to prepare a specific question.

02

Discuss and agree

Discuss what works, what needs attention and what someone wants to develop. Record who will do what, what support is needed and when you will revisit it.

03

Follow up

Revisit the agreement at the next conversation. Review what the employee tried, what they learned and what makes sense next.

Connect the conversation to work and career opportunities

Discuss how someone can practise within their team, which colleague could support them and which internal role or assignment fits their next step.
