About this course
Career growth is not always a promotion in a straight line. Shelley Osborne’s course helps managers make room for that reality when talking with employees about what comes next. It starts with reflection on meaningful work, then connects those insights to goals and support from other people.
The sequence asks learners to examine their own experience before coaching someone else. Career mapping and peak-experience activities lead into values, the GROW goal-setting model and mentorship. That progression makes the course particularly relevant to a manager who wants a more useful development conversation than “where do you see yourself?”

- Practicing active listening
- Supporting mentorship and development
No prior subject knowledge or special materials are required, but the course is geared toward managers with direct reports. Two or three years of work experience are described as helpful rather than mandatory. A student looking primarily for job-search tactics or interview preparation will find the focus different from that need.
Complete the reflection exercises for yourself before adapting them for another person. The point is to understand the questions and listen to the answers, not to decide someone else’s career for them. Plan to return to the resulting goals as circumstances change; the listed 48 minutes is only the starting study time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the activities for my own career?
Yes, the course includes self-reflection and personal goals before applying coaching to employees. Its main intended audience is still people managers.
Does it assume that growth means promotion?
The public syllabus covers different career moves and presents development as more varied than climbing a single ladder.
Is a certain number of years at work compulsory?
No. The instructor recommends management responsibility and says two to three years of work experience can help, but does not list that experience as mandatory.
