APSMA Hong Kong – Managing Up: How to Build a Positive and Trusted Workplace Relationship with your Manager

A Danish study of 4,500 public service workers has provided credence to the adage that “people don’t leave jobs, they leave managers.” Having a trusted and positive relationship with your managers and seniors is imperative to your career success and job satisfaction. Managing up is one of the most effective tools to achieve this. However, a number of professionals are concerned that managing up is fake and manipulative.

In this interactive workshop, Nidhi Kush Shah of Alchemy Consulting will share:

• What is Managing Up? 
  
• What are the misconceptions around Managing Up?
  
• What are the advantages of Managing Up? 
  
• Why is it an important career tool?
• Practical tools and strategies to build positive workplace relationship with your seniors
• Effective Communication, Negotiation, Understanding and Setting expectations and more
• How to gain visibility within your organisation?
• How to express disagreements and different opinions more diplomatically?

After the workshop, Nidhi will lead a 10 minute conversation with Jennifer Quasdorf (Head of Marketing and Business Development, Asia for Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer) about her experiences. Followed with time for Q&A from the audience.
