You’re a great performer, which is more than likely a key reason why you’re in a managerial position today. That said, we know this change can be overwhelming! Before, you were responsible only for your own work; now you’re responsible for the work of many. In this session, we will discuss the differences between being an “individual contributor,” how your responsibilities have now shifted, and where your focus now needs to be since you’re the “Captain of the Ship.”

Great leadership starts with knowing yourself. In this session, participants explore their individual results from the OAD Assessment—a behavioral tool that highlights communication preferences, work style, and leadership tendencies. By gaining clarity on their natural strengths and potential blind spots, managers can lead more intentionally and adapt more effectively to those around them. This session lays the foundation for personal growth and stronger team dynamics by beginning with the leader’s self-awareness.

Did you know that earning the trust and respect of your followers and team is crucial to your success as a leader? In order to gain trust and respect, you have to set expectations early and clearly with your team and then hold them accountable to those goals. In this session you will learn the art of feedback – How to give it candidly and professionally, and how to not avoid having those conversations. (P.S. You know who craves feedback? Your high performers.) 

Accountability isn’t about micromanaging—it’s about clarity, ownership, and follow-through. In this session, leaders learn how to set clear expectations, hold others accountable with consistency and fairness, and follow up in a way that strengthens trust instead of damaging morale. We’ll also explore how personal accountability sets the tone for the entire team, creating a culture where people follow through, speak up, and take responsibility for results.
