Hi [Your Manager’s Name],
I hope you're well.
I recently subscribed to a leadership development platform called Waggle AI, designed to help managers measure their leadership skills in real time and get feedback to develop key leadership skills therefore improving team performance.
Managers have been shown to account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement according to Gallup, Waggle's AI Leadership coaches enables me to be the best leader I can be for my team.
Waggle is a science-backed management platform that uses conversational AI and converts them into strategic nudges to create a high performance culture (see more at https://www.usewaggle.ai).
Could I ask to use my Learning & Development budget to cover the cost of my subscription?
This will amount to $30/month, I’ll share the invoice copy.
Thank you for considering my request.
I look forward to discussing this at our next one to one meeting.
Let me know if you have any questions and I’ll be happy to walk you through the tool.
Best regards,

CopyHey [Your Manager’s name],
As we briefly discussed during our last catch-up, I have been trialling this AI Leadership Coach called Waggle AI - see https://usewaggle.ai and have been finding it super valuable to know where I stand in terms of my leadership skills and getting feedback into how to improve.
It is a science-backed management platform that uses conversational data and converts them into strategic nudges. It provides real-time skills assessment and feedback to create a high performance culture and its potential is exciting!
Can I please use my L&D budget to cover for it? / I would love it if we could find a budget to reimburse the subscription. It’ll cost $30 every month.
I feel like it could really make a difference to my development.
FYI, they also have company plans if you think our wider team would also benefit from using it!
Happy to demo the tool to the rest of the team.
Thanks so much!
Speak soon.
