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.

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.”

FAQs

We made the change for several important reasons:
We want to offer more real-time, interactive support to managers.
We want to supplement the core curriculum with additional relevant trainings, group coaching, leadership exercises, and more.
We don’t want managers trying to navigate leadership alone. Too many managers don’t have access to supportive peer networks within their organizations, so we want The Management Essentials to provide that critical community support.
We want the program to be more affordable and accessible. A smaller, monthly investment makes that possible for organizations of all sizes.
