About This Program

Manager Essentials is built for organizations that promote high performers into management, then watch them struggle with the people-centric work their previous role never prepared them to do.

It's a live, interactive workshop series built on behavioral science and designed to supercharge the skills that matter most: building relationships and trust, setting expectations, giving feedback, and handling the conversations most managers dread.

Managers don't just learn concepts; they rehearse new skills and leave with a plan for where and exactly when they'll use them next. Between sessions they apply what they learned, get peer support, and work with their own leaders before adding the next skill.

Most manager training delivers bullet points, ideas, and inspiration. This series delivers scientific-level understanding and practical tools managers use right away, designed to prioritize skill transfer, not just awareness.
