• 01 · The Promotion Gap

  Great at the Work. Now What About Leading People?

  Best for new-manager cohorts, emerging leaders, and organizations promoting strong individual contributors.

  The skills that earn someone a promotion don’t automatically prepare them to lead people. This session explores the shift from being the person who gets the work done to becoming the leader who helps others succeed.

  Takeaways

  • Recognize the habits that help individual contributors succeed but can hold managers back.
  • Identify where doing the work has replaced developing someone else.
  • Choose one change to make in how they delegate, give feedback, or support their team.

• 02 · The Cycle of Stuck

  When the Leader Becomes the Bottleneck

  Best for managers who are carrying too much and teams that rely on their leader for every answer.

  The manager works harder. The team waits for direction. More work comes back to the manager. This session helps leaders recognize that cycle and consider how their everyday responses can build ownership instead.

  Takeaways

  • Spot where helping has become taking over.
  • Identify when a coaching question could be more useful than another answer.
  • Choose a conversation or responsibility where they can begin building greater ownership.

• 03 · The Leadership MAP

  Leadership Isn’t What You Know. It’s What People Experience.

  Best for manager gatherings and leadership teams working on feedback, accountability, trust, and communication.

  People experience leadership through conversations, decisions, and follow-through. Using Mindsets, Actions, and People, this session helps leaders examine the connection between their intentions and the experience they create for others.

  Takeaways

  • Connect a leadership mindset to the behavior it produces.
  • Examine how that behavior may be experienced by the team.
  • Identify one action to change in an upcoming leadership conversation.
