Hello, this is Laura Lee Rose. I am a speaker and author. My background is in time and project management.

I help busy professionals and entrepreneurs create effective systems so that they can comfortably delegate to others, be more profitable and have time to enjoy life even if they don’t have time to learn new technology or train their staff. I have a knack for taking big ideas and converting them into smart, sound, and actionable ideas.

At the end of the day, I give people peace of mind.

Today’s question came from a reporter: It’s not exactly a promotion–but you get to do more of what you want to do and maybe even take on more responsibilities to set you up for higher salary and promotion in the near future.

What are the best ways to ask managers for a job title transition?

It’s recommended that you create (and document) an Individual Development Plan in which you outline your career goals and professional path.  At your regular (recommended weekly or twice a month) one-on-one manager meetings, you frequently review your goals and IDP plans with your manager.  If you do this proactively and regularly, when a position becomes available your manager is neither surprised by your interest nor taking it personally.  They are already aware of your goals and have become a co-conspirator to your success.  But keeping your manager in the loop regarding your IDP, they can also bring those matching positions to your attention.  If you don’t include your managers in your plans, it’s just a more difficult conversation.

I know your situation is different. Why don’t we schedule an appointment, where I get to know more about your unique situation? And then I will be happy to make recommendations on what your best steps are moving forward.

You can schedule a 30 minute complementary consult right HERE. Do it today, what do you have to lose?

With enough notice, it would be my honor to guest-speak at no cost to your group organization.

I have a monthly presentation on “How to say YES to everything but on your own terms”. To sign up for the complimentary course, go to www.lauraleerose.com/Say-Yes

This presentation isn’t for everyone. It’s for professionals that are ready to succeed. Since we use the time to do some real-time laser coaching around your unique situation, the seats are limited. Even though this presentation is complimentary, there is a $5.00 reserve your seat fee that is refunded when you after attend the presentation. If you register and do not attend, you forfeit the $5.00 and all materials covered in the presentation.

I also have several worksheets that help clarify your goals, your teams missions, and your performance expectations in the Professional Development Toolkit. The toolkit goes into the who, what, where, when, why and how of all of the above. It contains audios, videos, presentations, and worksheets for your use and growth.
