The Brilliant Manager
A management program for organizations that want their managers to thrive and every employee to love their work
Managers make or break
a work experience.
When managers use their natural talents, proactively address the needs of their team, and meet organizational goals, the entire organization thrives.
However, when managers don’t perform well, communication fails, employee workloads are imbalanced, and employees burn out.
This happens all too often because managers are rarely coached on how to lead a team.
“Gallup can predict 70% of the variance in team engagement just by getting to know the boss.”
It’s time for every manager to have the tools they need for success.
It’s time to build and become Brilliant Managers.

The Learning Cycle
People learn best when they have opportunities to put their new knowledge into practice and then reflect on those experiences in a safe environment.
Group coaching sessions alternate between introducing new ideas and reinforcing the value of a new approach by guiding managers to reflect on what went well as they applied the concepts.
Managers may take advantage of 1:1 coaching sessions at any time to personalize strategies or discuss unique challenges.
Give your managers greater confidence in their ability to build relationships, develop people, communicate effectively, lead change, and create accountability.
