About

Learn the fundamentals of leadership and team management.

A leadership role can often be thrust upon an individual without much warning and preparation. This can be an overwhelming time in a person’s career and not everyone automatically has the skills to become a “good boss”.

This course equips new managers with essential skills to lead their teams confidently, provide effective feedback, manage performance, and foster psychological safety. The programme will also explore all aspects of management from wellbeing to handling difficult conversations with empathy. This course is designed to provide young leaders with a clear idea of their own leadership style, and build greater confidence to lead and manage a team.

Led by Julie Dormand, an industry expert with over 25 years in advertising and management who coaches with a mix of business acumen and empathy helping others find their own management style through the value of human connections.
