Leadership Courses for First-Time Managers
Are you a training provider or organisation looking to support your newest managers as they step into leadership roles? I offer empathetic, experience-led leadership and management courses designed specifically for first-time leaders and new managers.
With over 12 years in leadership and management roles at organisations such as Barclaycard, Unilever, and Granada Home Technology, I understand the real-world pressures new managers face. The transition into leadership can be daunting—suddenly responsible for guiding others, making decisions, and maintaining team cohesion, often without formal support.
These courses are designed to change that. Built on practical experience and centred on people-first leadership, they equip new managers with the mindset, tools, and confidence to build teams that are productive, safe, and motivated.
Practical, People-Focused Leadership Training
Unlike many off-the-shelf programmes, these courses are practical, engaging, and grounded in day-to-day leadership realities. As a freelancer, I bring flexibility, responsiveness, and a personal approach to every session.
Whether you're a training company enhancing your leadership development offering or an organisation investing in your internal talent. These courses provide meaningful, applicable content that drives real behavioural change.
What participants will learn
Courses are designed to deliver immediate value and lasting skills. Participants will develop:
-
Emotional intelligence to build trust and inclusivity
-
Clear communication and constructive feedback skills
-
Effective delegation and time management strategies
-
Techniques for managing relationships at all organisational levels
-
A coaching mindset to support team development and resilience
Sessions can be delivered face-to-face or online, and adapted for different sectors or organisational contexts. Each course is structured to meet learners where they are, supporting their first steps into leadership with clarity and care.
Support New Managers to Thrive
If you’re a learning and development provider, HR professional, or internal training team looking to better support your emerging leaders, I’d be delighted to collaborate.
These courses are designed to help first-time managers step into their roles with empathy, self-awareness, and the confidence to lead others with integrity and purpose.
