Overview

A four-day course spread over four months to allow first-time managers the opportunity to learn and apply new skills as well as to reflect on their performance in their new management role. This course is designed to give new managers confidence in their role by providing them with effective strategies for engaging, leading and motivating their team. On completion, delegates will receive post-course coaching support from the course leader.

This course is practice focused and supplements management theory and models with practical applications. Delegates will be tasked with identifying and applying a personal action plan between each of the workshops to ensure that learning is transferred from the classroom and applied within their organisations.

I was given tools that I could then implement in my place of work, for example how to improve my weekly team meetings, how to delegate tasks more effectively and better self-manage.
