Most people don’t become managers because they love difficult conversations. But the conversations you have with your team shape almost everything: trust, performance, retention, and whether people feel like they’re going somewhere.
This bundle brings together three practical guides from The People Collab to help you handle the everyday chats, the hard ones and the career ones with more confidence. They’re written in plain English by Emma Miller, an Australian HR consultant with over 20 years of senior HR leadership experience.
What’s included:
Manager’s Guide to Career Conversations (20 pages). How to prepare, open and lead a career conversation, with four example conversations, a question bank, a prep template and a follow-up email template.
5 Scripts for Conversations You’d Rather Avoid. Flexible scripts for underperformance, growth, behaviour, wellbeing and pay conversations, with what to avoid and your next move for each.
Bonus: One-on-One Conversation Starters. Ready-to-use questions grouped by theme, so your regular 1:1s stay focused and useful.
Who it’s for: founders, business owners, team leaders and new managers in growing businesses. Use it yourself, or share it with the managers in your business so everyone has the same tools.
Format: three PDF guides in one zip file, downloaded instantly after purchase. For the easiest experience, open the zip on a computer. The guides work on any device and can be printed.
Questions
Can I buy the guides separately?
Yes, both paid guides are available on their own. The bundle saves you $19 and includes the 1:1 starters as a bonus.
Can I share it with my managers?
Yes, you can share it with managers within your own business.
Is it specific to Australian workplaces?
It’s written by an Australian HR consultant and suits Australian businesses, but the guidance works for managers anywhere.
