Manager Fundamentals: Live Facilitated Training
From Struggling Manager to Confident Leader in Just 4 Weeks
When Sarah got promoted to her first people management position, she felt like an imposter. Three months later, her team's productivity increased 35% and turnover dropped to zero.
Sarah's story isn't unique. 58% of managers report needing more training in people management, yet most get promoted without any leadership development. The result? Overwhelmed leaders, disengaged teams, and missed opportunities for both personal and business growth.
What if you could change that in just one month?
The Hidden Cost of Untrained Managers
Every day without proper people management training costs you:
Team productivity (engaged teams are 17% more productive than disengaged ones)
Top talent (highly engaged business units achieve 59% less turnover)
Your own career advancement (managers account for 70% of the variance in team engagement)
Personal confidence (and the stress that comes with feeling unprepared)
The solution isn't more experience. It's the right training.
