Our micro-learning experience taught by management training expert Cecilia Gorman is designed to provide powerful content that improves manager skills, AND fits into busy schedules.
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 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. Add in remote managing, heavy workloads, and client demands; it's no wonder managers are struggling.
HERE'S HELP.
Leadership training that's hard-hitting and easy-to-access.
We’ve designed the Boot Camp experience to remedy training challenges: lack of time and content that's boring or unusable. Past enrollees tell us the course was easier, faster, and more helpful than they expected!
What's included & how it works:
Micro-Learning Over 8 Weeks
We purposely created this program to be concise and streamlined - fitting it into busy schedules is completely do-able. Students are given 8 weeks to complete 23 lessons. Videos range from 3 to 17 minutes each. PLUS, enrollees get full 1-year access!
The guidance and tools are instantly usable – with a range of critical lessons including remote managing, growing in self awareness, setting expectations, navigating feedback conversations, evaluating performance, improving employee check-ins, motivating teams, crafting a personal leadership style, and so much more.
In addition, there are group coaching calls, a skills assessment, module quizzes, and a robust workbook to help support and guide students as they integrate new ideas and tools.
What Boot Camp Includes:
-
HR Resource Portal with Enrollment & Engagement Tools
-
23 videos that are authentic and fluff-free

Two group coaching calls with a management coach

Module checklists to keep the lessons on track
-
Downloadable worksheets to use with their team

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.
