Women’s Roundtable: Managing Your Manager, with Kristi Zuhlke

WHY THIS TOPIC:

Many argue that the most important determination on if you will get promoted is about how well you manage your manager. Yes, that may sound absurd but have you ever seen someone in a high position at a company and wondered how the heck did that person make it so high in the organization? Well, most of it’s attributed to how well they manage up. In this session, we will talk about how to successfully manage our managers to increase our chances of success in our careers.

WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:

– The art and the science of managing expectations
– How much time should be spent with your manager
– Knowing when to sell them on you

THIS MIGHT BE FOR YOU IF YOU ARE:

– Want to have a better relationship with your manager and/or leadership
– Having difficulty holding candid conversations with your manager when issues arise
– Lacking confidence to talk about yourself or your great work
