Small groups, real conversations
Twelve seats per workshop. You will know every person in the room by name by lunchtime on day one. The facilitator knows your industry context because we ask about it during enrolment.
Management Training that sticks
We run small-group workshops for managers who want honest feedback, real scenarios and skills they can use on Monday morning. Based in the ACT, delivered across Australia.
See our workshops Get in touchWhy managers come to us
Most management courses dump theory on you for two days and send you back to work with a binder. We do something different. Our workshops are capped at twelve people, run over four half-days spread across a month, and include one-on-one coaching calls between sessions. That spacing gives you time to try things, stumble, adjust and come back with real questions.
Coaching between sessions
After each half-day, you get a 30-minute phone call with your facilitator. Bring a situation from the week. We work through it together before the next session.
Measured outcomes
We survey your direct reports before the program and again at the eight-week mark. You get a short report showing where behaviour actually shifted, not just where you felt more confident.
A bit about us
We started in 2016 with one facilitator and a rented boardroom in Canberra. Tara Okonkwo, our founder, had spent fifteen years managing engineering teams at a federal agency and got tired of watching talented people get promoted into management roles with zero preparation.
Today we are a team of four facilitators. Each one has at least a decade of people-management experience in government, healthcare or professional services. We are not academics lecturing from slides. We have all made the mistakes we teach you to avoid.
Our workshops cover the practical stuff: giving feedback that people actually hear, running a meeting in under 30 minutes, handling a performance issue before it festers, and building a team rhythm that survives busy seasons.
What past participants say
"I came in thinking I was a decent manager. By session two, I realised I had been avoiding every hard conversation for years. The coaching calls between sessions were the part that made the difference for me."
Sam Petridis, operations manager, Canberra
"We sent six team leads through the program over two quarters. Turnover in those teams dropped by a third in the following six months. I can't prove causation, but the timing lines up."
Deepa Narayan, HR director, Sydney
"The 360-degree feedback report at the end was confronting, in a good way. I pinned it above my desk. My team noticed the changes within weeks."
Lachlan Howell, project lead, Melbourne
