The facilitators are equally personable and skilled, making this a wonderful experience for any teams exploring 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.

82% are 'accidental'

64% are flight risks

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.

This training was one of the most valuable learning opportunities I've had. Each moment was designed in such a way to be of extremely high value, and while I've gone through manager trainings previously, this one was the most impactful in challenging my assumptions and preconceived notions about serving my team and enabling their success. The program combined research with creative approaches. It was an incredible model of adaptive learning that in many ways mirrors the content being explored itself.

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 1-1 sessions with Andre felt like plus one year of management experience under the belt. The handouts are also very valuable.

This is one of the most valuable training programs I've taken! It was a great change of pace and breath of fresh air in my schedule. I appreciated everything from our knowledgeable and engaging guides to the many opportunities to learn directly from my peers. I was able to immediately improve certain areas of my team management and plan to keep putting into practice many other things I learned.
