Emerging Leaders
Strong Ground: Equipping First-Time Leaders to Thrive in the Future of Work
Â
Most leaders are promoted for performance-not for people skills. They’re expected to lead without being taught how to identify blind spots, manage emotions, or use feedback constructively. This gap limits growth, reduces retention, and stunts team performance. Teams are experiencing disengagement and turnover because leaders lack the self-awareness to connect and inspire. I'm closing this gap for newly promoted managers and emerging leaders (first-time supervisors, team leads, assistant managers) by providing them emotional tools.Â
High-potential professionals tapped for promotion but struggling with people/leadership skills. Mid-level managers who are technically excellent but hitting roadblocks with influence, communication, or team dynamics.Â
