You can hear it from your desk.

They were brilliant at the job, so you gave them a team. Now you're wondering if you promoted the wrong person.

You probably didn't. Nobody showed them how.

  • "Can I just run this past you?"
  • "It was faster to do it myself."
  • "I'll talk to them next week."
82%

of people going into management had no formal management or leadership training, according to research by the Chartered Management Institute and YouGov.

What happens

Three months. Six sessions. Real problems.

We work on what's in front of them that week, so they use it straight away. Your manager gets somewhere private to be honest. You see the progress.

  1. The startYou, your manager and I agree the goals together
  2. Session 1Stepping up: the role, expectations and managing old peers
  3. Session 2Leading people: trust, motivation and getting the best from the team
  4. Session 3Hard conversations: performance and the talk they're avoiding
  5. Session 4Planning and delegating, so it stays delegated
  6. Session 5Solving problems without running to you
  7. Session 6Managing up, handling change and the next 90 days
  8. The reviewWe look at progress against the goals, and what's next

What's said in sessions stays private. You see progress against the goals, not the conversations. Topics are informed by CMI and ILM first-line management standards.

"Rebecca took the time to understand our business and what we wanted to get out of our sessions. She has been an invaluable confidante with whom we have been able to discuss any issue from staffing to future plans. I would highly recommend her for any business that wants to grow in a controlled and structured manner."Branch Director, homecare business, on Help to Grow mentoring
"I was promoted to management and felt completely out of my depth. Rebecca's mentoring gave me the confidence and practical tools to actually lead my team, and enjoy it."Customer Service Manager
