I can deliver tangible results. It's as simple as that. Ask me about Yvonne in Bolton who reduced her machine change-over time from 40 minutes to 6 minutes, just by utilising her team better (after attending a High Performing Teams workshop), or maybe we can talk about one of my many coachees that went on to career promotion following our sessions. My breadth of experience means there's pretty much nothing I've not encountered, and that means that trainees trust me from the off and they're willing to go on the journey with me.

Typical manager timeline
Meet Tomasz
Tomasz has been working for you for 5 years. He's very knowledgeable and competent, the idea candidate for promotion.
Promotion
Tomasz is now the warehouse manager. He's very proud of his achievements and can't wait to get going.
Baptism of fire
Tomasz has gone from being the go-to person in the warehouse to feeling like a fish out of water. He attends the monthly managers' meetings and feels like a fraud. Suddenly his team expect him to know everything, sort out their holidays, sick pay, personnel issues... This isn't what he'd expected.
Stick with what I know
Tomasz isn't sure exactly what is expected of him... no-one has told him what a manager does or how they do it. So he does what he knows. Often he's not managing people very well because he's too 'in the weeds' of operational life, that's where he feels safe. Meanwhile, his team is floundering.
Lose / Lose
Six months in and you have a lose / lose situation: you have lost a fantastic worker and gained a poor manager. It's not Tomasz's fault, he's just doing what he knows... no-one showed him a better way.
Sound familiar?
This story is repeated all across organisations in every sector. We promote staff and just hope they figure it out. Some do of course, but most don't, leading to a number of problems further down the line. Get a head start, call me and I can help you set your new managers up for success. Investment now will save you so much in the long-term.
