Job Assignment

You have your sights set on a promotion sometime in the next year, so you would love to manage a challenging new project and get some more diverse experience under your belt.

Professional Development

You’ve always had a fear of public speaking, but you know being able to give effective presentations is an important part of growing your career. You’d be interested in getting some coaching or training to build this skill.

Leadership Opportunity

Even though you don’t have your own direct reports yet, you’d like to someday. There is a new Employee Resource Group that you are interested in starting up, so you are looking for support from your manager to work on this project.

There’s a professional association you would like to join, but the dues are more than you would like to pay out of pocket. You know it would be an amazing networking opportunity, so you’re hoping there might be some budget to cover the fees.
