Master First-Time Manager Skills in a Community of Peers

Step up as a strong leader by discovering your unique abilities and strengths, and learning the soft skills that will make you succeed as a first-time manager.

Research and over two decades of our experience shows that First-Time Managers are often not provided with the leadership development necessary to lead teams, nor with the support to shift their identity from individual contributor to manager. Most times, they learn these skills through trial and error.

In this special pilot programme designed for first-time managers, you will join a small, confidential community of peers to reflect, discuss, share and learn together. At the end, you will leave the programme with new skills, new support, more confidence and geared for better success and performance.

Congrats to Pari Namazie and Pascal Maygnan for surviving their first jointly led “First-Time Manager Group Coaching Sessions.” Their thoughtfully designed 10-week program brought together a diverse group of managers and leaders from Europe, the Middle East, and the US to share and grow together.

Their leadership model framed the course as they helped us bring deeper aware of our strengths and super powers. I loved their flexibility in adjusting to the needs of the participants, their focus on experiential learning, the reading lists to supplement classwork, and the homework, which helped us consolidate classroom learning.

I walked away from the sessions with a deeper understanding of how to use their model not just for myself, but also as an organizational and professional development tool. I also saw how powerful their methods were in transforming all of the participants.

Thanks Pari and Pascal!
