New Manager Training

Our sessions are live, small-group cohorts with no more than 10 participants each to ensure maximum learning and growth.

Unlike some courses, which are glorified webinars, this is active learning - focused on each individual.

For this reason, we don’t offer an on-demand version yet.

We prioritize privacy (sessions not recorded) for open discussions and personal growth.

We offer four options:

First, we focus on an individualized strengths-based approach. A one size fits all approach doesn’t work for everyone. Individuals are not robots and they shouldn’t be trained to be one. Think of the best leaders. Are they all the same? Likely not. The best leaders know their unique strengths, know which strengths to use, and have worked on their blind spots.

This experience recognizes that you are all unique individuals with different challenges and goals. We encourage you to play to your strengths rather than mirror what somebody else is doing. We provide best practices, tools, tips, and hacks but at the end of the day, change comes from what works best for you.

Second, we are highly focused on the startup and first-time manager experience.

Third, this is not a glorified webinar series. Unlike other manager training programs which may be pre-recorded videos or one speaker speaking to a group of hundreds, we are customized to you and your challenges. Every single participant gets direct and personalized access to the trainer and coach.

We focus on you and your experiences. That is why we keep these cohorts small. We are not a sales farm trying to get 50 or 100 people into a cohort like some other courses. We want to talk through YOUR actual challenges.

Last but not least, we’ve been told our experience is fun, psychologically safe, empathetic, engaging, practical, and highly interactive. Contact us to read the case studies.

Yes. We frequently build and implement private training programs for companies that have a group of recently promoted managers.

If you are scaling fast and need training support, reach out to partner with us.

We are known for customizing our programs to fit with an organization's language, culture, and processes.

Yes! Managers from non-profits often join our cohorts. Non-profits and startups are more alike than you realize. They both:

1. Rely on external funding and are usually always in "fundraising" mode

2. Lack resources to hire everybody they need

3. Lack the proper systems, tools, and processes. They need to be scrappy!
