The leadership program helped our team immensely. The content was practical and delivered in a way that made it easy to implement right away. Our team moves incredibly fast, and we were able to take tools from this training immediately, which are going to make us more effective and intentional leaders. The PeopleStorming team is equally personable and skilled, making this a wonderful experience for any teams needing leadership training.

The Background

Many managers are unprepared for their roles. A 2023 Chartered Management Institute study found that 82% of managers are 'accidental managers' who lack proper training. This is a significant problem, as a 2024 YouGov survey showed that 64% of managers would seek a new job if they don't get enough learning opportunities.

Traditional training is too focused on old-school management instead of the modern, coaching-based leadership needed today.

Our program is different. We offer an immersive blend of training, peer learning and coaching that provides practical, immediately useful tools.

It's built on Google's Project Oxygen research, which highlights that a great leader is a good coach, communicator and decision-maker. They care about everyone's inclusion, success, well-being and they drive professional growth. They are results-oriented but never micromanage.

With our combined 40+ years of professional experience, we understand there's no single 'right' way to lead. Our goal is to give leaders a comprehensive foundation to evolve their own unique styles, tailored to the specific context of their organization.

The program is a shortcut to engineering leadership. It helps you to understand different aspects of leadership and makes you more productive as a manager. The one-on-one sessions with the coach felt like gaining an additional year of management experience. The handouts are also very valuable.

This leadership program helped me re-think what leadership is. The sessions were engaging and thought-provoking, always allowing me to unpack fears, misconceptions, and then make space to approach leadership from a fresh perspective. The facilitators led such incredible sessions with content on effective leadership strategies, which I then put to use right away in my daily interactions with the people I formally and informally coach. I can say with certainty that I will use all the material to reference in the future, and I'm excited to have walked away with concrete steps to be a better people leader in my organization.

This program, designed for our senior-most leaders, was excellent. The focus on cross-collaboration and decision-making resonated well with this challenging group. It was clear that participants gained significant value. I definitely recommend this program, especially for mid- and senior-level managers who might find other providers' programs too elementary.
