MODERN MANAGERS LEADERSHIP SERIES

Upskill your managers for today's leadership challenges

Do your managers know how to get results, yet have difficulty with these people skills?

Transitioning from a technical expert to a manager of people
Not clearly understanding their role as manager
Micro-managing and not getting work done through others
Feeling lost when managing remote employees
Not taking care of themselves and "burning out"
Overwhelmed with stress and productivity challenges
Avoiding challenging situations and conversations
Lack of confidence in dealing with people related challenges
Holding team members accountable
Viewing all conflict as negative
Low competence in using a coaching approach
Not paying attention to team member social and emotional cues

Our Modern Managers Leadership Series helps your managers improve their people skills to positively lead themselves and others through change and challenging situations, especially during times of uncertainty, shifting employee demographics and the new hybrid workplace.

The Modern Managers Leadership Series is an experience-based virtual program for managers to improve their people skills to more effectively respond to challenging situations, especially during times of uncertainty and constant change.

Training and Group Coaching: Our series includes six leadership topics, each equivalent to a half-day of leadership content, completed over several months. Every program includes bite-sized interactive self-study learning assignments, completed at the learner's convenience, over 5 days with a culminating 90-minute live virtual training on the last day. These courses can be delivered in the "flow of work" via Microsoft Teams.

Your managers and leaders can participate in a training cohort of 12 to 25 managers from your organization and we offer public programs for multiple organizations. Your managers can sign up for any or all of our six experience-based virtual programs. Group coaching is available for smaller groups of 6 to 12 managers.

Filled with fresh curated content, assessments, and action planning tools, our Modern Managers Leadership Series is designed to help your managers transition into a managerial role, lead remote teams, be resilient in the midst of uncertainty and change, have difficult conversations, build coaching skills and lead with emotional intelligence, resulting in strengthened learning agility, improved work relationships and better business results. See links in the section below for public program details and dates.

Delivered on our gamified Learning Experience Platform, our 2022 public program features one learning dash topic per month, with one group coaching reinforcement session and social community with continued access to program content for one year after each program is completed.

Your managers can enroll in 3 to 6 month training packages with six topics to choose from, scheduled at your convenience. For smaller groups, we offer development/group coaching programs for 6 to 12 managers, where you can select the topics your managers need for personalized development.
