My Conversations
My Conversations is West College Scotland's approach to one-to-ones with your manager. It is a people-centric employee led approach so that you can take ownership for your own personal effectiveness and development. Through personal skills profiles and continuous cycle of conversation, your manager gets insight into your individual drivers, strengths, weaknesses, talents, skillsets and motivators which enable you to learn, develop and grow.
It provides clarity in objective setting, as it encourages a collaborative approach between you and your manager in which your individual goals and objectives align to the College objectives and priorities. You are at the heart of the process which powers meaningful conversations that are underpinned by your individual drivers.
