Workplace questions
Use these guides to prepare the conversations that shape your position at work: the ask, the evidence, the objections and the questions that follow.
The guides
Asking for a pay rise: the conversation, worked line by line
How to ask for a pay rise — a worked opening, answers for the budget deflection and the not-now, and the evidence sheet that makes your case forwardable.
Pitching an idea at work: the questions that decide it, worked
How to pitch an idea at work — a worked two-minute opening, and answers for the five questions that decide it: cost, risk, who else, why now, and why you.
Asking for a promotion: the case, the timing, the conversation
How to ask for a promotion — opening the conversation, extracting real criteria, answering ‘not yet’, and pinning a timeline. Worked lines for every stage.
Pushing back on workload without sounding like you can't cope
How to push back on workload without sounding unable to cope — the triage reply, the impossible deadline, and the priorities conversation, all worked out.
Put your case in order before you make it.
Name the ask, the evidence and the hardest likely objection. Then see how Grow connects to the rest of your career.
