Yet many new managers step into people leadership without formal preparation, while experienced managers are being asked to navigate an increasingly complex workplace.

###### Cohort-Based Training

## Learning is More Valuable When Managers Learn from One Another

The public cohort gives managers space to explore common challenges with leaders outside their own organizations. Through facilitated discussion, practical scenarios, and shared reflection, participants gain perspectives they may not encounter within their own company.

For organizations, the format provides an accessible way to develop one manager or several leaders without having to create a custom internal program.

 Individual Development

- New managers moving into people leadership
- Experienced managers seeking a practical refresh
- High-potential employees preparing for management

 Organizational Development

- Organizations enrolling several managers
- HR leaders seeking a consistent management foundation
- Companies that want accessible development before investing in a private program
