Join our signature leadership program:
The Management Essentials
A six-month, on-demand leadership development program that equips managers with the skills and tools they need to lead well.
Feeling capable as a leader should be the norm, but it isn’t.
Most managers feel overextended and under-equipped.
If you’re like 87% of today’s managers, you were promoted into leadership with little-to-no guidance on how to actually lead well. You need more support. Tools. Training. Coaching. Anything, really.
You shouldn’t have to figure it out on your own. The Management Essentials gives you the proven leadership practices you need to lead with skill and confidence.
A TRANSFORMATIVE EXPERIENCE
Program Design
Too many leadership programs pack content into long classroom days, making it difficult to retain and implement the learning.
The Management Essentials counters this challenge by breaking critical training concepts into bite-sized, on-demand modules that are easy to absorb and immediately applicable. This program combines short video lectures, a comprehensive training workbook, discussion prompts, hands-on exercises and action planning to drive engagement, retention and results.
STEP 1
Get access
Gather leaders in your organization to form a program cohort and register online. Though the program can be completed individually, walking through it with at least one other manager will dramatically improve retention and results.
STEP 2
Build skills and knowledge
Enjoy seven months of unlimited program access to complete the six, one-hour training modules with your cohort. Meet when and where you want. Discuss and implement program concepts together. Attend bonus live sessions each month and engage with the online peer network.
STEP 3
Lead with confidence
With new insights and leadership best practices in your toolkit, you’ll show up to work feeling confident in your ability to lead your team well.
The Management Essentials is perfect for:
Groups of peer managers looking to grow in their leadership together
New or soon-to-become people managers
Experienced leaders committed to continued growth or in need of a management skills refresh
Organizations committed to developing their leaders

Simple, but effective tools. Overcomplicated theories are replaced with accessible leadership practices.
Evidence-based strategies. Methods are backed by research and experience.

THE ESSENTIALS
Six must-have modules
The tools and concepts every manager needs to know.
-
Great leadership begins with self-leadership. Through a deep dive into two key forms of self-awareness, you will gain powerful insights about leading yourself and others.
-
The foundation of strong team performance and engagement is a high-trust, well-designed team environment. In this module, we’ll explore a proven framework for creating a healthy work climate that fosters connection, commitment, and results on your team.
-
Delegation is a vital part of management, but few have mastered the art of doing it well. In this module, we walk through the seven most common downfalls of delegation, then explore a step-by-step checklist that will help you avoid these downfalls as you practice effective delegation on your team.
-
You want talented employees who boldly overcome obstacles to deliver results; and they want and need a leader who serves as their coach—someone who sets them up for success, develops their skills, and believes in their ability to succeed. In this module, you'll learn ways to shift from fixer to coach, plus critical coaching best practices for leading your employees toward greater awareness, ownership, and performance.
-
Providing timely and effective feedback—both positive and constructive—strengthens relationships, increases engagement, and transforms performance. But it’s hard to do well. This module will prepare you to confidently deliver brain-friendly feedback that’s productive and meaningful.
-
Establishing consistent communication practices is critical to building trust and reliable results on your team. In this module, we’ll explore a broad list of key communication practices, then take a deep dive into two of the most important practices: one-on-ones and team meetings.
What program graduates are saying.
Holli | Controller
Now that I’ve completed the program, I have steadier footing and am more grounded as a leader. The experiences I had and what I learned through the training are things that I utilize every week, if not every day. I have a lot of tools in my management tool belt that I can lean on. Overall, I just feel more confident and self-assured in managing people.
Crissie | Associate Creative Director
You walk away from this program with a wealth of knowledge—a whole toolkit to bring to different situations in your leadership. I’m finding myself pulling my notes out a couple times a week—sharing the tips with coworkers and bringing them into sessions with my team. To somebody considering the program, I would say:“Start it yesterday. Absolutely do it. It is worth every penny.”
Christina | Business Services Supervisor
The experience of this program was unlike any that I’ve ever experienced before. It was chock-full of great content and models that I could apply right away. This program is 100% worth it—I feel so much more confident coming out of this. It makes me feel better coming to work each day and able to handle the challenges coming my way.
