Do you think the traditional ‘models’ of management need to be shaken up?
Are you a manager who wants to develop your skills and further your thinking?
If so, our Manager Labs are for you.
Be ready to step into a world of curiosity, creativity and camaraderie.
Our Manager Lab is a unique development community designed to turn traditional models on their head.
Designed for ambitious managers, this small group is your laboratory for hypothesising, innovating, experimenting and reviewing.
Hosted by Lisa LLoyd, Psychologist and Founder of It’s Time for Change, and Gemma Ellison, Leadership and Culture Director and Founder of Heart Leadership, it’s a vibrant, virtual arena that celebrates diversity of thought, fosters resilience, and breeds ingenuity.
Here, management challenges become learning opportunities and peers become teammates on your journey towards personal and professional growth.
This is not your typical management development group.
It’s an interactive, dynamic environment where you’ll experience the time and space to reflect, observe, share and learn.
This is an opportunity for managers to problem-solve, be thought-provoking and be positively challenging with each other, within a context of complete trust and psychological safety.
Real talk about real challenges, whether that’s about…
Feeling isolated in your role
Feeling overwhelmed by the pressure on you
Aligning your values and your desired experience with what is expected and needed of you
Unpicking what is meant, where to start, and what success looks like around concepts such as ‘culture’
Confidence to lead the people-aspects of change and uncertainty, that shows care for your people
Dealing with employee engagement, performance, mental wellbeing, conflict and many other topics that need to be put on the table and discussed openly
