Step 1
Give your manager a heads up
Let your manager know you’re interested in a course that will improve your work. Ask if you can send them details over email.
Hey {manager}, I saw a course on Marna Mentoring called {course name} and think it would be useful for my work and health. Mind if I send you the details?
Step 2
Make your case
Share how the course aligns with your role and professional goals. Use the template below and tweak it as needed:
Hey {manager},
There's a course called {course name} that I'd love to enroll in. It's a live, online course with peers who are in similar roles as me, and it's run by Marna Schwartz, a professional corporate wellness and productivity consultant.
A few highlights:
- Direct access to Marna, the expert instructor teaching the course
- Proven methods for reducing stress and increasing well being
- Collaborative forum to ideate and develop implementation strategies
After I take the course, I'm happy to summarize and present my learnings to the team. I'll be able to apply a lot of what I learn immediately.
The course costs {price}. If you like, you can review course details here, including the instructor’s bio: {course link}
Thanks,
{Your Name}
P.S. Should we invite other members of our team and take it together?
Step 3
Follow up with your manager
If you don’t hear back, follow up again after 3 days to show your commitment and interest. Here’s an example you can use:
Hey {manager},
Have you had a chance to look at the Marna Mentoring course I sent you? It looks like seats are filling up and I'd love to grab a spot before it sells out.
I really believe it would help us level up with:
- Outcome A
- Outcome B
- Outcome C
Here's the link: {course link}.
Let me know.
Enjoy the course!
