Managing Up: Strategies to Confidently Ask for What You Need
Asking our managers for feedback, support or opportunities can feel daunting. Fears of having our
requests rejected, undermining our working relationships, or being seen as less capable can have a
chilling effect on our willingness to ask for what we need. But it doesn’t have to be this way. With the
right mindset and communication strategies, you can effectively and confidently manage up and
advocate for yourself. In this session, we will define managing up, address common challenges and
identify actionable strategies you can use to manage up.
