Developing new managers

Support emerging leaders from day one

People management is critical in keeping your organisation’s windmill turning. With fewer people delivering more, great management isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. Getting the best from everyone starts with confident, capable managers who know how to lead, support, and inspire their teams.

Stepping into management is a huge shift, taking on new teams can be challenging and not everyone finds it easy. New managers must quickly adapt to leading teams, handling difficult conversations, managing performance, and keeping people engaged—all while balancing their own workload. Without the right support, confidence can take a hit, and performance can suffer.

That’s where we come in. Our practical, real-world training gives first-time managers the skills and confidence they need to lead effectively from day one—keeping your workforce engaged, productive, and resilient.

What we cover:

• Core management skills – From setting expectations to coaching, communication, and performance management.
• Leading through challenges – Tackling conflict, difficult conversations, and team motivation.
• The manager’s toolkit – practical tools, case studies, and frameworks to apply immediately.
• Peer learning & mentoring – Support networks that build confidence and real-world insight.
