Group program · Six weeks
Lead Together is a small group coaching program for first-time managers who are done working it out alone at eleven at night.
The gap
Management is not a harder version of your old job. It is a different job, and most people are handed it with a title and a calendar invite.
Yesterday you complained about management together. Today you write their reviews. Nobody explains how to hold both of those.
Your director wants the number. Your team wants a straight answer. You are translating in both directions, all day, usually alone.
You were promoted for doing the work well. The job now is choosing what gets done, and that is a skill nobody taught you.
What we cover
Every session takes one real problem from the room and works it until you have something you can use on Monday.
Moving from peer to lead without pretending nothing changed, and without overcorrecting into someone your team does not recognise.
The conversation that prevents most of what goes wrong three months later. We write yours in the session.
How to say the hard thing while it is still small, in words you would actually use out loud.
What to hand over, what to keep, and how to stop quietly taking it back at the end of the week.
Getting your team what it needs from someone whose attention is already spoken for.
Walking into it prepared instead of improvising, with the evidence you should have been collecting since week one.
How it runs
Live on video, same slot every week, so it holds a place in your calendar.
Small enough that you speak in every session and get known by the room.
Real problems from your week. We work them in front of everyone, because everyone has one.

Fit
Who runs it
I managed teams for nine years before I started coaching them. The first year was the hardest, and it was hard for reasons nobody had named for me yet.
Lead Together is the program I wanted then. Small, live, and built around the situation you are actually sitting in this week rather than the one in the textbook.
From the last cohort
I came in with one problem and left with a way to handle the next five. The group was the part I did not expect to need.
Week three was uncomfortable, and it was the most useful hour of my quarter. I finally said the thing I had been avoiding for a month.
Eight people meant I could not sit quietly at the back. That is exactly why it worked on me.

Questions
You get the notes and prompts, and you bring the topic to the next call. The sessions are not recorded, which is what keeps people willing to say the real thing in them.
No. Two direct reports is enough to have every problem this program is about.
About an hour a week. Less when work is heavy, and nobody is checking.
Yes. Ask for an invoice at checkout and one will be issued in your company name.
