It is good if you have your own idea (values) of your role and and how it aligns with the company. Through a simpler mapping of your abilities and what you want, you can compare it with the company's goals and thus have a clearer professional picture of what is possible. If you have a good manager, the person will listen but at the same time your arguments need to be realistic and possible. It can be about wanting a promotion, working in a different team, steering in a different direction or accepting new opportunities. You can start by asking for feedback or more concretely seeking active support for a change. Highlight your strengths and how these contribute to the company. In a change, it may take time and more meetings to meet you.

To speed up your desires and need to sharpen your arguments whether it is about improving your performance, interests in other areas or a feed. Get help from others and start by doing an analysis. It can be useful to go through your strengths and weaknesses together with a career plan. With these documents it is easier to see what you need/what is missing and how you can get on to the next station. You pick up arguments by searching for good alternatives, read yourself in and gradually build up explanations of what might be good a good way. It will be a matter of developing skills in relation to your position and what it may cost in training/development. Therefore, you also need to motivate and make visible the effects of your learning.

It is super important to give you and your career advancement the attention it deserves. Don’t dismiss it as a casual topic or assume you can catch your boss's attention before they step out for lunch, this approach will likely not get you the desired results! Take control of your career advancement by proactively requesting a meeting with your manager. Demonstrate your commitment to your professional growth and ensure your manager understands the importance of this discussion.

When you have prepared yourself properly, you need to request a meeting with your manager and what the meeting should be about. Make sure that the meeting gets a "place" in the manager's agenda, i.e. also choose an opportunity that is good for both parties if possible. Feel free to leave advance information with various points and angles that you feel may be relevant for a good conversation with your boss and you. Give the manager a reasonable opportunity to see what your questions and needs are. You need to decide what you intend to leave in advance and what fits better in a conversation. In most companies, there are standards for what applies in connection with work tasks and also legal issues connected to education. Space in time needed.

In a meeting with your boss, it's about being clear about what you want. You need to be open to new impressions, opportunities and be able to show understanding of the company's perceptions. By being prepared, you have a greater chance of avoiding ending up on the defensive, being passive or becoming aggressive. See the meeting as an opportunity and that it is exciting to talk about your questions in relation to the company. Through your approach, your questions can be more angled as you take greater personal responsibility regardless of what questions are on the table. It is important that you highlight achievements, what your contribution has been/is and how the enhanced career will develop both you, your role and for the company.

No estoy de acuerdo con lo que dice el texto cuando habla sobre "presentar sus pruebas y destacar sus logros, habilidades, etc". Eso de alguna manera debe estar tácito por una cuestión de puestos diferentes. Ahora, creo que lo importante en esta reunión es tener claridad mental a la hora de poner expectativas, si tu jefe es una persona muy impulsiva y eufórica al hablar, no pretendas tener una charla muy tranquila (aunque puede pasar), probablemente si tocas un tema que le guste, termine tratando de acaparar toda la conversación. A su vez que si tu jefe es una persona reservada, tranquila y cauta en sus palabras, no pretendas que te de un vasto y gran detallado consejo personal, probablemente se defina en lo profesional.
