People Management Series 2025

 

This professional development series helps you build your people management skills to deal with the human aspect of business success.

The series consists of 7 x 2 hour group sessions, including a final session to reflect, adopt and plan. This immersive process, with post-session action planning, and progress-checkpoint calls, allows you to put theory into practice. Expert facilitators will guide your discussions, identify common pain points and provide insights that you can take away and use with your team to overcome day-to-day management challenges you face.

Limited to only 12 participants, this small group format is designed to encourage valuable connections with other managers. You’ll support one another and share ideas along your journey to become better people leaders.
