Leader's tool: developmental conversation with an employee – Tallinn

The aim is to give a team leader the elements to build a 1:1 conversation that suits them, which meets their goals but focuses first on the employee's needs and on noticing them. Such conversations are a good way for a leader to spot early signs of stress, overload or falling motivation. The second aim is to show how to prevent and notice these mental health challenges as a leader.

Topics: the purpose of the conversation, operational daily check-ins versus a developmental annual conversation; preparing for it and involving the employee; recognition that is genuine and sincere; coaching feedback and feedforward: when, why and how; warning signs of mental health problems and how to raise them with the employee; and coping with possible reactions. The content takes 4.5 hours (6 academic hours). Keywords: leader, team, mental health, development, development conversation.

The trainer is Tuuli Junolainen, psychologist and coach.
