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