Manager Catalyst

When you give your people managers the right tools, your culture will thrive

Regardless of how long they’ve been managing, most leaders have never been taught the foundational skills of leading teams and driving performance.  The Emergent Execs Manager Catalyst Program is a highly-interactive, classroom-based course that delivers the frameworks and tools that bring confidence and competence to your first-time and mid-level managers.

Strengths of our Manager Catalyst Program:

Flexible

Sessions are 75 minutes at a time, day, and pace that is convenient for your schedule.  Stack them up in day-long seminars or spread them out over months. We offer in-person training at your company’s offices or via video conference.

Customized

From our library of management lessons, we work with you to choose the topics you want to emphasize; in a way that fits with your policies, goals, and personality.

Professional

 All of our facilitators have taught at a university level or are regarded as subject matter experts in the industry.

Practical

Participants leave every session with tools they will implement immediately.

Accountable

We track participation in classroom discussion and homework and provide regular progress updates to their direct supervisor.

Not Boring!

We don’t lecture.  We don’t theorize.  We engage your managers in relevant conversations about how to lead in your company.

Our curriculum specialists work with your HR leaders or C-level executives to design a program from our library of training modules that matches the topics, language, and leadership competencies of your
company.

 “The Accelerator program helped me tremendously in sharpening my management skills. I loved the classroom experience and getting the opportunity to hear from other leaders in the tech space. Meeting with my coach helped me bring the learnings from the classroom back to work and apply them to my role.”

– Olga K, Indeed

“The individualized coaching sessions were a 1,2 punch that complemented the class time so well! My coach, Karen Markham, was poignant, professional, and encouraging throughout the entire Accelerator process. Not only did she provide me with managerial strategies I was able to implement immediately, she also devoted time to discussing my personal and professional goals. Karen never lost sight of the fact that a person’s identity is not limited to their business card.”

– Lara K, Brainiac

 “I attended the Accelerator program to learn more about how to think strategically about rapidly growing a global team. Since attending, I have increased the size of my team from 20 people to over 75. The Socratic method used in the classroom, in conjunction with the individualized coaching sessions, helped me design a detailed, personalized action plan. I enjoyed the opportunities to engage with my peers in the classroom and establish relationships that will last
well beyond the program.”

– Renee T, Indeed

“We led an extensive process to identify the right coaching organization for our fast growth organization. Emergent Execs proved to be the right choice – they had a proven curriculum but were willing to customize and adapt the classroom conversation to address specific challenges we were facing at that point in time. Additionally their expertise in facilitating conversations with all levels made an impact on the business itself and how talent worked together to meet organizational goals and objectives.”

– Lauren P,  CLS Partners

“Simply put, the Accelerator program was both humbling and encouraging. I was humbled by the caliber of my cohort (and that I had obvious skill gaps to fill), then encouraged by the practical tools Ted walked us through in class. Well worth the investment!”

– Kevin L, Tengointernet 

“The curriculum has something for everyone, and the is in an easily digested format that reinforces all the key learning points with books, case studies, and in-class experiences that help to solidify the learning process and drive home the message of the month.”
