Past Event: Career Discussions for Unpromotable Employees


This event is now past. It was originally held on Friday, September 11th. To purchase a recording of this program contact Nicole Jordan, VP of Business Development, via email at nicole@leadershipiq.com

Not every employee can, or should be, promoted. Maybe they’re just too good in their current role. Maybe they don’t have the right skills for that next rung on the ladder. Maybe their talent is maxed out. Or maybe, in a recession, there’s simply no room above them.

Whatever the reason, how do you have a career discussion with someone who really wants to move up? How do you help them to realize that they need to stay in their present role? And how do you help them find deeper fulfillment right where they’re at?

This teleconference will teach you the specific techniques to conduct meaningful, sensitive, productive and transformational Career Discussions with employees that just aren't promotable. You don't want to lose great people just because you need them to keep doing the job they're already doing. So this program shows how to turn their disappointment and frustration into positive energy and renewed enthusiasm for their present job.

In this 60 minute session, you call into a teleconference line to listen and ask questions and you get handouts/slides to download and keep. You can invite as many colleagues as you’d like and even interact directly with Mark Murphy, one of the country’s leading management experts.

This 60-minute session will show you how to conduct Career Discussions for Unpromotable Employees. You'll learn:

  • 5 step conversation that helps employees reframe and rewrite their negative beliefs about not being promoted so they can see all the opportunities that do exist right in front of them
  • How to use behavioral language to clarify exactly what is required for promotability (and how the line gets drawn between promotable and unpromotable)
  • Specific scripts for managing the Big 4 reactions (Denial, Blame, Excuses & Anxiety) that employees have following tough conversations about promotability
  • 3 questions that help employees see that perhaps they didn’t really want a promotion, but rather wanted something else instead (and then how to create opportunities for them to achieve that “something else”)
  • How to discover employees’ secret desires and motivators to devise creative ways to keep them energized and passionate, even when they stay in the same job for years
  • How to adopt the right “leadership style” to handle employees’ disappointment and frustrations
  • 5 conversations that managers should NEVER have (Attacking, Disintegrating, Shirking, Soft-Pedaling, Compliment Sandwiches) and how to avoid them
