Course overview
"Am I doing a good job?"
Managing people is a different job, so don’t feel bad if you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing. Over 60% of new managers report getting no training, coaching, or support when they need it most.
If you're good at masking your worries but secretly wonder if you’re cut out for managing, this class will help.
Through the assessment and teachings, you can expect to feel more secure, self-assured, calm and confident.
Personal growth and professional development go hand in hand. Expect to increase your self-awareness in ways that will serve you at work, and beyond.

02
High achievers who are used to feeling competent, and suddenly feel unsure of how to succeed.
03
Managers who want to lead from their values and strengths, and feel more confident in their leadership style.
What you’ll get out of this course

Clarify your values.
Investigate the values (and fears) that drive your decisions, so you can feel more grounded in ambiguity.
Feel more calm and self-assured.
