As a manager or business owner, you may have felt the disappointment of promoting someone and having them fail to meet your expectations. Maybe they were very good at their job from a technical point of view, but when it came to managing people, there was ambiguity, confusion, and ultimately frustration. Maybe this resulted in staff losses.

Or maybe you are that new manager, and you're feeling in over your head.

Emerging Leaders Development Program gives you the tools to confidently and competently lead your teams and avoid common leadership mistakes. Join us as we explore the skills required to be a great leader, manager, supervisor or team lead in an interactive program designed to set you up for success.

Emerging Leaders Development Program is for you if:

You're new to leadership

You know how the job needs to be done, but you're struggling to lead the team. You've missed out on learning the building blocks and critical skills required to effectively lead.

Current leadership needs a reset

To be a great leader is a choice. Many current leaders are burnt out, unmotivated, or lacking the skills needed to elevate their team. 

You need help

You need your teams to perform, but you want them to feel supported, too. You can't manage everything and everyone and your leadership team looks to you for guidance on leading their direct reports.
