Watch Andrew introduce the program
How the program works
Leading & Managing People offers you a collaborative space in which to get your questions answered and learn from the questions and answers of other managers and leaders.
It is not a traditional course where you have to start at the beginning and follow a linear series of modules to the end to achieve your learning objectives. Each coaching circle is a stand-alone learning event with a specific learning objective. So you can choose which circles to join live or catch up on later through the recordings & exercises.
Each circle has a theme, but you are welcome to raise any topic about managing people and teams. Andrew will shape the agenda for the circle based on the questions you post in advance and he will address your people management questions during the circles.
While you are subscribed, you will have access to the archive of all prior circles & the supporting materials.
The circles are held over zoom and last 1.5 hours. We record the circles so you can catch up on the events you missed. After the circle, Andrew posts exercises, videos and readings to support the questions that came up.
Circle dates are fixed three months in advance. See below for the available dates as of today. While you are subscribed you can join as many circles as you like. There are at least 2 circles each month, often more.
