Ok. let’s talk about it. Where do you want to go? I can see you’re doing well in your current role, and taking on extra work alongside. If we can determine the gaps, we can make a development plan.

That’s fantastic. Let’s make sure your skills matrix is up to date. Ok, I can see that you fit 3 out of 5 of the requirements for Tech Senior. Let’s make a plan to develop the other skills. What timeline do you want to work towards?
I like the idea of the Technical Seniors. I think I have a lot of technical knowledge, and am already involved in several coaching sessions.
Awesome! It’s cool to see that I’m already half way there. The skills I need are handling escalations and being a point of contact. How can I up-skill myself? Can I help you with anything to gain some experience in these areas? I’d like to aim for the role by the end of the year

Great, let’s work together to deal with the escalations. As for point of contact – I’m away on annual leave for 5 weeks soon. If we’re proactive now I can help you be seconded to that role and gain experience. Let’s also work on building your brand in the team so people trust you as a point of contact.

This is a great opportunity, I really need to put myself out there and show what I’m capable of.
I’m in! let’s do it.
Perfect. We’ll put this into action now, and when I’m back we can review how it went and plan the next steps
Dan's pretty choice!
I’m really enjoying this people leadership. I feel like I can do this. Also, I’m getting good feedback on how I handle escalations – and that I’m on track for Tech Senior
