It's a regrettable fact that many companies are less than thorough in their management coaching & training. 

Management Training Programs are often one-size-fits-all, and that often leaves new or even experienced managers with poor management development, high stress levels, and results that are not as good as they could be.

​

This program is ideally suited to new or frontline managers, however more experienced leaders may also benefit from a deep dive into some of these proposed topics.

​

In working together across these areas, we will focus on developing foundational capabilities and experiences that are critical for leaders everyday and which provide an essential building block to develop lasting and successful careers. 

​

The topics listed below are flexible and can be combined or tailored specifically to suit your needs. It is also possible to combine topics from the Executive or Business Coaching programs.  

​

The topics covered by the Management Coaching program can be broadly categorised into three themes - Operating skills, People skills and Interpersonal skills.
