Becoming a great manager isn't easy or overnight.
Let's face it. Managers are a company's most critical asset.
And yet, most managers get little to no training when they start overseeing direct reports. There’s either no time or no budget to focus on building their skills. Even simple management tactics can get overlooked without proper onboarding.
HERE'S HELP.
Our micro-learning experience taught by management expert Cecilia Gorman is designed to provide foundational content that improves manager skills, plus fits into busy schedules.
Leadership training that's hard-hitting and easy-to-access.
We’ve designed the Boot Camp experience to be digestible, accessible and easy to use. Weekly lessons are about an hour and it's as simple as clicking an email delivered right to your inbox.
What's included & how it works:
Micro-Learning Over 4 Weeks
We purposely created this program to be concise and streamlined - so fitting it into busy schedules is manageable. The lessons are instantly usable–with a range of critical lessons including self awareness, setting expectations, maneuvering tough conversations, evaluating performance, improving employee check-ins, motivating teams, crafting a personal leadership style, and so much more.
In addition, there are a skills assessment, weekly quizzes, and a robust weekly workbook to help support and guide attendees as they learn to integrate their new skills.

About Cecilia Gorman, Course Creator
Cecilia Gorman has spent 20+ years adding value to managers and teams. Her background working in fast-paced, high-stress creative environments helped guide the creation of this course. Cecilia knew managers, especially those supervising for the first time, could better succeed if only they had a few fundamental lessons along the way. Manager Boot Camp is her signature program and has significantly helped managers across the globe feel more equipped and confident leading their teams. Read more about Cecilia HERE.
Of course, you could let your managers figure it out on their own.
Or, you could have them spend days in off-site seminars.
Or, have them learn from their mistakes.
(All of those sound lengthy and expensive!)
Why not shortcut their path to success with targeted lessons—that easily weave into a busy daily routine— to help your managers feel more equipped fast?

Read MoreI loved Cecilia's course! She's a spectacular communicator, and has a talent for making some of the hairy emotional and interpersonal situations of management seem like normal and surmountable challenges– even opportunities for growth! I think this was one of the most golden aspects of the course, really– her positive frame. It's the kind of attitude that shifts you from just "solving problems" into actually seeing opportunities in each situation; her perspective helps move you from a "coping mentality" to a "thriving mentality." That attitude shift is an incredible asset for my organization– but also for me personally!

Read MoreCecilia's coaching style, examples, personal stories, and helpful workbooks really resonated with me. It allowed me to relate to her and easily translate to scenarios in my workplace. I appreciate her style as a full 360 human being, using lenses of emotional intelligence and personal/professional wellness vs. an old school "control" lens or rigid tactics that are hard to apply in real life. This training is not lazy – it takes your attention seriously, and its absolutely worth your time.
