What people are saying
"In my view, I learned that becoming a good manager is, at its heart, really about becoming more self-aware and deliberate about your own behavior and communication with other people. This program gives you a very clear snapshot of your own behavior and communication style and gives you tools that you can use TODAY to improve every aspect of managing a team."

"Often we as leaders have found our way to our positions through trial and error mixed with passion and energy to always be better. Because of that, we may lack the internal confidence in our deepest set beliefs and have doubt in our abilities at times. This course helped me to solidify what I already intuitively knew was right, understand the importance of my impact and learn new tools and knowledge to go even further. Beyond that, I now have a wonderful network of humans to keep me accountable which no amount of private studying could ever provide you."
"I received valuable techniques I can implement at work right away. In fact, there are so many things I want to incorporate that I have to prioritize what to start with. This course is like 10 different courses packed in one. Therefore, absolutely worth the money. It will take some time for me to reflect on the material and learnings as it was so much. The different blocks are very unique and tangible."
"The New Manager Boot Camp was an extraordinary experience. I gained valuable adaptive and leadership skills that will help me become a successful leader!"
"This course was a fantastic deep dive into key themes to master excellent communications. I loved the novel tools to increase confidence, project my voice, manage difficult situations while on the stage, and craft a pitch with impact. I also found that the course methodology allowed for all participants to go out of the comfort zone, share and receive feedback, and practice genuinely to get better. The instructors were all very open-minded, kind, and knowledgeable in their areas so every module was very rich and insightful. I was also thrilled to meet with participants from different cultural and professional backgrounds. Thank you so much for this wonderful experience!"

"I found the tools, content, stories, and takeaways so relevant to our company as we are navigating cultural changes coming out of the pandemic, aspiring to grow, and just beginning and update to our strategic plan. The learning around driving innovation, knowing the right leadership tools to apply at the right time, and purposefully aligning culture to our strategic goals give me so many ideas to bring back to my peers."
"One of the most valuable things about this program was actively dedicating 2-4 hours per week to focus on growing as a black leader. That meant proactively making time outside of the weekly meetings to review the content/modules and reflect on what was learned. The other most valuable thing about the program for me was meeting other black leaders that I may not have met otherwise."
