First-Time Manager

When everything is moving at speed and teams are scaling, it makes it seem almost impossible for newly promoted managers to find time to adopt new behaviours and habits. Yet, management is primarily learned from on-the-job experiences—by doing and reflecting.

Our programme, Rising Leaders, is designed to do just that. We give managers the tools and confidence to try new behaviours, they reflect on the challenges to integrate them in their daily interactions and feed their experiences back to us to refine their approach.

6-month programme
1 competency each month
90-min workshops
with up to 6 participants
30-minute follow-up
1t1 coaching sessions

Training combined with follow-up 1:1 coaching

We've spaced our programme over 6 months to give your new managers the opportunity to try new behaviours and build habits gradually, week by week – and month by month – fine tuning in the moment, as they practice and repeat behaviours.

One of the greatest assets of our approach is to combine peer learning with one-on-one coaching sessions. Each month, we focus on developing 1 essential management skill through a 90-minute group training workshop combined with a 30-minute 1:1 coaching session.

Throughout the programme and beyond, they also have access to our online platform which contains a library of resources to allow them to revisit key concepts, models, and tools from each workshop. This forms an all-in-one solution that achieves real behaviour change and greater self-confidence.

Zoom on our 90min workshops & 30min coaching sessions

Each workshop is designed as a combination of self-reflection, group discussions, and practical exercises using their own scenarios. Your managers will take away tips, techniques and templates. At the end of each workshop, each manager will be asked to commit to a Personal Action Plan, up to 3 on-job actions that they review with us during their individual coaching sessions.

During our 30-minute sessions we review what each manager has tried, what worked best, what didn’t work so well, and how to progress moving forward.
