Course overview

Develop skills to showcase your leadership value and increase your impact

Your technical abilities have been recognized, and now you are managing. But to provide the biggest impact and set yourself up for ongoing success, you'll need more than just management basics (i.e. effective communication, team building, conflict resolution, problem solving, etc.). Your path to leadership impact requires a new mindset and a success plan that will guide your transition to leadership.


As a new leader, you are tasked with not only managing a team but also inspiring and guiding them towards success. The transition from an individual contributor to a manager comes with its own set of challenges, such as building trust, setting clear expectations, and balancing the demands of your team with the goals of the organization.


All leaders encounter challenges. And as a new leader, you simply can't afford to "wing it"! This course, 'Tech Pro to Trusted Leader' is designed to address the new leader's challenges.


If any of the situations below describe your leadership challenge, THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU!


👍 You are a Tech professional who has been promoted (or handed) management responsibility.


👍 You know the Tech stuff, but intuition says this is different and something more is needed.


👍 You've stacked your resume (and mind) with knowledge of platforms, systems, techniques, etc. and can easily get the tech stuff done. But now, your team is expecting you to direct, support, and mentor them.


👍Your boss is looking for results, and the organization is moving fast. Forging ahead with the IC tactics that got you promoted won't deliver the leadership success you desire.


👍 You wonder what can you do today, next week, next month, or during the next 90-days to be successful.


👍You aren't sure what steps to take, where to focus your time and energy to get the most impact.


👍 You want to avoid the typical new manager failures.


👍 You want a sound framework, along with action steps. No more "winging it".


👍 You want a foundation that fortifies your technical knowledge and acumen.


If any of these sound familiar, join me and your new leader colleagues for 2 days of intensive discovery, planning, and action. Come prepared to learn, discuss, reflect and lead.


WHO THIS COURSE IS NOT FOR

➖ You have a pressing need or difficult situation that requires 1:1 coaching.

➖ You are looking for "Management Basics".

➖ You prefer a slow-paced experience.

➖ You are unwilling to put in time or effort; you want a "10-step, quick fix" process.

➖ You feel your title is enough to ensure your leadership success

➖ You see leadership as a short term step, not a journey that you will be on the rest of your career, probably the rest of your life.
