Managing At Your Best
Leading with intention and purpose as a rising leader
New people managers play a critical role in their organization’s success. Transitioning from performing tasks independently to managing people is hard. This program is built to support new and rising people managers in developing the mindset, emotional intelligence, and critical managerial skills needed to become effective leaders.
In this four-week virtual learning program, new managers will:
- Take action to build a trusted and safe environment for their teams to show up authentically
- Hone skills in providing effective feedback to enhance your team’s performance
- Learn to coach team members to reach their full potential
- Address performance issues and implement effective improvement plans
- Gain access to a network of leaders across regions, sectors, and functional areas
This program will be offered in English with interpretation and translation in Spanish (Zoom automated captions available in 35 languages)
Who Should Attend:
People Managers who:
- Have been in a people management role for less than 2 years
- Manage one or more people
- Can devote the time to learn and grow with peers across the globe
We recommend two leaders from a venture participate together. Participating with a colleague fosters accountability and thought partnership that make it easier to share learnings across a venture.

What Leaders Have Said
“The most valuable aspect for me is to have had the time and space to think about leadership instead of simply acting upon it. Taking time to reflect in a more structured, strategic, and intentional way about how I lead and who I lead is, to me, the most important takeaway.”

“I really like how this program is very global. It was nice to be able to learn from people outside of the usual workplace and social group. It truly adds perspective in this fast-paced globalized world”
