Subject: Professional development expense request
Hi [Manager’s Name],
I’ve started using a tool called Reflect to improve how I prepare for one-on-ones and performance conversations.
It helps me track growth over time and approach important conversations more intentionally.
The cost is $14/month, and I believe it supports my effectiveness as a manager.
Would it be possible to expense this as a professional development tool?
Thanks,
[Your Name]
Questions
Reflect is intentionally personal. Some managers choose to use it individually.
Not at this stage. Reflect is designed as a private workspace.
