My experience with this program has been completely transformative. The personalized approach empowered me to clearly identify and address key gaps in my leadership and personal development. The coaches exhibited the utmost professionalism and consistently exceeded expectations throughout the entire 6-month program. I wholeheartedly recommend PeopleStorming to anyone seeking meaningful growth and development in their leadership journey.

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.

64% are flight risks

Traditional training is too focused on old-school management instead of the modern, coaching-based leadership needed today. It also fails to account for the two biggest barriers cited by the YouGov report: demanding too much time from busy people and offering uninspiring learning content.

Our program is different. We offer an immersive blend of training, peer learning and individual 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.

PeopleStorming exceeded my expectations and provided incredible value in how I approach leadership. The facilitation was fantastic, and the working frameworks were pragmatic and well-defined. The takeaways from the experience are already improving my day-to-day, and I expect them to continue to yield value for years to come.

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 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.
