How to get support to invest in you
​Managers are the least supported layer in the organisation. Let's fix that.
​
Within most organisations, personalised coaching is only made available to:
-
Executives.
-
Select participants in training and development programs.
​
Yet managers everywhere face difficult, often wrenching, challenges.
Partners, friends, family, colleagues and therapists can be great resources, but nothing quite compares to working with someone who:
-
Has been where you are.
-
Has no agenda besides supporting you.
-
Can spend hours focusing on your challenge with you.
​
Despite this, coaching remains out of reach for too many, especially if they must pay out-of-pocket.
​
Unloq Sessions and Unloq Learning are an affordable solution that aims to make coaching and training available at any level, at any time.
​
If you need support to start investing in you, here are some options to consider.
Employer sponsorship
Most medium-to-large organisations set aside budgets for learning and development. Often this takes the form of a 'per-FTE' (full-time-equivalent employee) allocation. These allocations often go unspent, simply because there is no obvious opportunity to use them, such as a relevant course or conference.
​
Or your manager may simply not have thought of it.
​
Getting your employer to sponsor your Unloq Sessions or Learning program may be as simple as making a request.
​
Requesting support for an Unloq Sessions or Learning program demonstrates that
-
You're being proactive with your career.
-
You've made it easy to say yes by doing the legwork yourself.
​
Your request should explain why the expense is a good investment for the organisation. We have prepared this justification document to support your business case.
You are welcome to use the document as-is or to copy-and-paste relevant parts.
​
Discounts for teams and organisations
We are happy to work with you, your manager or your Learning & Development team to create a discounted package for your team or organisation. Just get in touch.
​Reduced fee options
Reduced fees are available for:
-
Public service and for-purpose employees.
-
Small business and sole traders.
-
Early-career and first-time managers.

Tax deductibility
This is general advice. Please consult your financial advisor regarding your personal circumstance.
​
In Australia, 'self-education expenses' are tax-deductible if they fit certain criteria. Unloq Sessions and Unloq Learning courses are designed specifically to meet the ATO's criteria for self-education expenses.
​
To support your deductibility claim, you may wish to ask your employer for a letter endorsing your Unloq Sessions or Learning program. This business justification document can help with your request.

‘Managers face pressures from above and below. They tend to be both underdeveloped and unempowered, and they face growing pressure to deliver in flatter, faster, and leaner organizational structures, all of which leads to being underutilized and unappreciated.’
