We usually get promoted because we're really good at being an individual contributor. But, here's the thing - all of the skills that made you a great IC won't make you a great manager. In fact, they can often get in the way. You get one chance to nail the first 90 days with your new team. This workshop equips newly promoted managers with a strategy for releasing control, holding teams accountable, and developing sustainable processes. Managers are the cultural custodians of an organization, and they are often the primary reason why people stay or leave. A great manager makes all the difference in a person’s performance, and as an effective manager, we can affect true change and growth in the business. A smooth transition also impacts our own well being by giving us focus, courage, and clarity.

During this workshop, we will:

Explore the 4 key shifts we need to make to be an effective manager

Discover tools for effective 1:1s and performance reviews

Build a 90 day success plan to get your team back on track or make a great impression with your new team


After the workshop, you will have learned:

A repeatable framework for coaching in 1:1s and performance reviews

A process for growing your team every quarter

Tactics to shift your perspective making you more effective

Feedback is critical to our success and growth, so why is it so hard to do effectively? Because emotions are always at play in the world of work. Rather than working against the emotional component of feedback, if we lean into it, we’ll have a better chance of being heard, integrating feedback, and accelerating growth and productivity with coworkers, clients, and managers.

During this workshop, we will:

Explore a framework for effective feedback giving combining both structure and delivery approaches

Explore how to receive feedback to improve working relationships while being true to ourselves

Manage our emotions and the emotions of others in a feedback session

After the workshop, you will have learned:

How to ensure feedback is usable

How to ask for feedback that will actually help you

Your role in a feedback conversation

How to incorporate feedback into your daily life to accelerate your career growth

A framework for managing and exploring emotional responses to feedback

How choosing the right words increase your effectiveness
