Exercise for The Proactive Confidential Advisor

The proactive confidential advisor develops not only through conversations but especially through reflection, visibility, and strategic practice. The exercise below helps you avoid reactive language, make your role visible, and generate structural impact within your organization. You can use this exercise on your own, during peer supervision, or in collaboration with HR or management.

Exercise: The ‘Visible Without Reports’ Strategy

Goal: Increase your visibility as a proactive confidential advisor even when few conversations take place.

Actions:

  • Organize a themed consultation hour (e.g., about ‘setting boundaries in collaboration’)

  • Publish an article on the intranet about a relevant topic

  • Share anonymous data from other organizations to raise awareness

  • Host a coffee moment titled “What’s really happening on the work floor?”

Measurement point: Ask employees, “Did you know you can also come to me for reflection or questions, not just for serious situations?”
