    Topic: Conversations every Manager Needs in Their Back Pocket - Continuing Education Credit: 1.0 CEU

     Joe Rotella, SHRM-SCP, SPHR, CPBA, breaks down five conversations that high-performing managers have regularly, not once a year, not just when something’s on fire, but as part of how they lead every day. These conversations aren’t fancy. They’re real, repeatable, and ridiculously effective. Whether you’re leading a team in-office, remote, or somewhere in between, this session will help you turn generic interactions into high-impact moments.

    You’ll learn how to:

    • Start (and sustain) conversations that build trust and clarity
    • Shift from check-ins to check-points—with shared accountability
    • Coach in the moment, not just in the margins
    • Use these conversations to reinforce expectations, progress, and purpose

    The Big 5:

    Clarity Chat – Align on expectations before things go sideways

    Feedback Loop – Keep performance on track without surprise reviews

    Milestone Pulse – Check progress without micromanaging

    Coaching Nudge – Use small moments to develop big potential

    Reflect & Reset – Make space to pause, learn, and plan what’s next

    People leaders, HR pros, and anyone who’s tired of performance management feeling like a form instead of a conversation will gain the insight, tricks, and tips needed to create a culture of performance and high-performing teams.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Identify five core performance conversations that help build clarity, engagement, and accountability within teams.
    2. Differentiate between reactive performance discussions and proactive, ongoing coaching conversations.
    3. Apply conversational frameworks that support milestone tracking, feedback delivery, and expectation setting across hybrid and in-person teams.
    4. Demonstrate how regular, structured manager-employee conversations contribute to a culture of continuous performance management.
    5. Evaluate their current management communication style and create a plan to integrate these five conversations into everyday leadership practices.
