Managing Made Easy™

Be a Leader Who Inspires Performance.

Imagine going to work each day feeling confident in your ability to lead your team and deal with any employee-related challenges that come your way!

You were promoted because you were a technical rock-star and now you are no longer responsible for your own performance, but the performance of an entire team. Despite having a team of qualified employees, you find yourself jumping in and doing the work or dealing with the same issues repeatedly. You are starting to wonder if you are cut out to be a manager. Or maybe you have been a manager for a while, but you have never taken the time to invest in your leadership development.

To be a super-star team lead or manager you will need to gain the foundational leadership skills required to navigate the people side of managing a team. With the right skills and tools, you can manage less every day but accomplish more.

Learn how to move goals and projects forward without having to micromanage, put our fires, or jump in and do the work yourself from an expert leadership coach and a group of your peers.

The Program

Managing Made Easy  is a 6-module group leadership program where first-time and front-line managers will gain the foundational leadership skills they need to lead and engage employees. We will meet live for 3-hour sessions and learn ONE skill in each session, resulting in true mastery of the skills you need to become a rock-star people leader!

Each cohort is limited to 12 managers to ensure everyone will get the opportunity to discuss their challenges each month. Cohorts typically take place live, via Zoom.

By the end of the program, you will know how to:

Program Outline

Module One

Develop Manager Awareness – Do you inspire performance from your team or are you a driver of performance?

Find a balance between not managing too much or too little and assess your current management style to design an approach for managing your team you can apply when you return to work.

Module Two

Expect the Best and Get It! – Reduce confusion and get the right people doing the right work.

Set your employees up for success as you learn how to communicate clearly and delegate effectively by matching up the right employee with the right tasks.

Module Three

Stress-free Feedback Conversations – Lead constructive conversations that result in improved performance and greater ownership from employees.

Does the thought of giving an employee constructive feedback has you breaking out in a cold sweat? Most managers are dealing with different versions of the same performance issue. Learn how to get to the root cause of performance issues and a clear process for communicating feedback so it is heard and accepted.

Module Four

Discover Your Team’s Potential – Coach employees in the moment and ask the right questions to inspire higher levels of performance and commitment.

Learn how to use the coach approach and powerful questions to improve employee self awareness and independence. You will get to take back even more of your time.

Module Five

Tackle the ‘Tough Stuff’ – Stop losing sleep because of difficult conversations and ward off team conflict before it escalates.

Difficult conversations are inevitable for a manager, but they don’t have to be painful or awkward. Learn how to transform destructive conflict into constructive conflict and a strategy for navigating difficult conversations.

Module Six

Light the Fire Within – Motivate your team and keep them engaged along the entire employee journey from hired to retired.

Why We're Different

This program overcomes the “knowing-doing gap” by designing each module around the application of skills once a manager is back on the job. Managers will have time between modules to practice their new skill with their team and come back to the program each month to receive coaching from Corina and their peers with any challenges they experienced.

The small group size encourages peer learning. You will have the benefit of sharing your challenges with the group and getting instant feedback in each session.

Who is The Right Manager for This Program?

You were recently promoted to a Team Lead, Supervisor, or other Management role (Or about to be promoted),

You have been in a management role for a while, but your skills could use an upgrade, or you have never been to management training,

You have an open mind and a willingness to learn.

This program is NOT for managers who LOVE being in the weeds every day, happy to be the bottleneck on their team, and enjoy having to keep a close eye on their employees! 😅

Past Participants Say

"Corina’s emerging leader program, Managing Made Easy™, was insightful, applicable and relevant. The entire time I was going through this program, I kept thinking to myself: “I wish every manager in our company could take this program (if resources allowed)! The program design struck the perfect balance of learning with time commitment. I liked the set-up of monthly, half-day sessions, as the time commitment is not daunting. Biting off one topic at a time is the ideal approach to truly let the information sink in with time to apply the new skill in the work environment.”
HR Manager
Hickman Automotive Group
“Working with Corina and Shift PD Inc. has been a seamless experience. With the development of the skill-sets gained in Corina’s management program, it is our view that our company has (and will continue to) experience an increase in the performance and effectiveness of our business operations due to more efficient and consistent management practices. We surveyed the employees who report into the leader participants in Managing Made Easy™ and it was apparent that the leadership program was not only highly valuable but was also already having an immediate impact on each of the teams. Results of the survey showed that the direct reports were experiencing more effective people-management practices from their leads which will result in better performance outcomes across the company.”
VP of People and Culture
Mysa Smart Thermostats
“All modules in the program were extremely valuable and complement each other well but the topics of feedback, coaching, and managing difficult conversations were the most valuable to me in my role. I’ve covered these topics in other programs, but never with this much focus and intention. Because of the quality of the instruction, material, and tools, I feel confident in approaching feedback, coaching, and engagement moments with employees with the cutting-edge industry standards that Corina provided us with.”
COO
Women in Resource Development Corporation (WRDC)
“There is tremendous value in having emerging leaders from different industries with different perspectives in a room together learning from one another.”
