A four-part, high-impact learning experience designed for managers who've found themselves leading without a manual. Whether you've recently stepped into a people manager role or suddenly found yourself responsible for a team (gulp), this is your foundation.

No jargon. No 50-slide decks. Just practical tools, expert guidance and real-world leadership skills you can use immediately.

Everything you need to go from surviving to thriving:

  • 4 weekly 75-minute workshops delivered virtually
  • 35+ tools, templates and conversation guides you'll actually use
  • A peer cohort of fellow managers to learn and grow with
  • Slack community for extra support and accountability
  • Ongoing nudges and resources during and post-programme

Who's it's for?

Managers who are ready to stop winging it and start leading well.

  • First-time managers who want to do more than just survive
  • Accidental managers who never got formal training (You were a great IC, now it's time to become a great manager)

The Programme

Four workshops that change how you manage

From Doer to Manager
1:1s and Team Rhythms
Feedback and Brave Conversations
Empowering and Developing Others

Making the shift from doing the work to enabling it

You can't do everyone's job for them (even though it might feel faster). Learn to lead the work instead of doing all of it yourself.
What you'll master:
Shift from doing the work to leading the work
Establish trust and psychological safety
Manage your time, energy and role with intention
The reality: Your calendar is a mess. Your inbox is overwhelming. You're still trying to deliver your own work while supporting your team. We'll help you figure out how to manage it all without burning out.

Building the rituals that actually drive performance

1:1s aren't just status updates. Team meetings shouldn't be painful. Learn to build rhythms that foster alignment, energy and accountability.
What you'll master:
Run 1:1s that drive performance and development
Build team rituals that foster alignment, energy and accountability
Spot the signals of team health (before things go sideways)
1:1s aren't just status updates. Team meetings shouldn't be painful. Learn to build rhythms that foster alignment, energy and accountability.

Tackling the conversations you've been avoiding

Giving feedback shouldn't feel like defusing a bomb. Learn to have brave conversations with empathy and clarity—without dodging or dreading them.
What you'll master:
Give and receive feedback with empathy and clarity
Tackle tricky conversations without dodging or dreading them
Use practical tools like SBI or COIN to guide your words
The reality: Someone on your team is underperforming and you don't know how to address it. Or worse, you're avoiding it entirely. We'll help you find the words and the confidence to have conversations that actually move things forward.

Delegation that builds ownership, not resentment

Delegation isn't dumping tasks on people. It's building ownership, trust, and capability in your team. Learn to develop your people, not just manage their output.
What you'll master:
Delegate to build ownership and trust
Understand what motivates your team
Have great career conversations and coach for growth
The reality: You're doing too much yourself because you think it's easier than explaining it to someone else. Your team wants to grow but you're not sure how to help them. We'll show you how to delegate effectively and have career conversations that actually help people develop.
