People-First Leadership for New Managers

Turn your expectations of being a great manager on its head by being a people-first leader. Most new managers focus on proving themselves by obsessing over numbers/results. Instead, obsess over the success of your people and the numbers/results will follow. In this course, you will understand what it means to be a people-first leader, you will get practical frameworks and templates that you can easily apply, and you will be guided step-by-step to put together your very own team operating system. 95% of managers rated that they would recommend or strongly recommend the manager trainings I personally developed and facilitated to other managers.

Learn to be a people-first leader and build your very own team operating system


New managers who have just transitioned from individual contributors and are aiming to be confident and fulfilled leaders.

Struggling managers who have been managing for a short period of time and are facing challenges and frustrations.

Experienced managers looking to elevate or rethink the way you manage and wanting to draw the best from their people/teams.
