Who It's For

Middle managers and senior leaders who want to improve specific management skills quickly and practically in a small group learning environment.

The Challenge

Many managers struggle with daily management challenges: unclear prioritization, difficulty giving constructive feedback, avoidance of setting boundaries, and lack of ownership over processes. The result is overload, burnout, and teams not getting the guidance they need.
You might recognize this when:
  • You avoid difficult conversations until they become crises
  • You struggle to prioritize and end up overwhelmed
  • You don't know how to give feedback that actually helps
  • You can't set boundaries without feeling guilty
  • Your team isn't clear on expectations or accountability

The Solution

GROW builds clear and stable managerial behavior through small group learning (6-10 participants), practical practice on real scenarios, and rapid improvement of specific skills. Managers learn together, share experiences, and implement tools immediately in the field.
This is hands-on development focused on real situations, not theoretical training.

The Process Includes

Small-Group Leadership Labs (6-10 Participants)

Shared learning with other managers in an intimate group setting. Experience sharing and practice in a safe environment where everyone can engage deeply. Small group size ensures personalized attention and meaningful peer learning.

Scenario Practice Sessions

Working on real situations from the field. You bring actual challenges you're facing, and we practice handling them—difficult conversations, feedback delivery, prioritization decisions, boundary-setting. Practice with peers and get real-time coaching.

Skill Sprints (Focused Short-Duration Topics)

Focused short skill sprints on specific topics:
• Giving constructive feedback
• Setting and holding boundaries
• Prioritization and time management
• Difficult conversations
• Delegation and accountability
• Managing up and across

1:1 Reinforcement

Personal coaching for managers who want additional, deeper support. This can be added to complement the group work for those who need extra attention on specific challenges.
