Your Management Blueprint


Description

A Personal Leadership Development Journey

Imagine a development experience that puts you in the driving seat of your own growth as a manager and a leader. That's exactly what ‘Your Management Blueprint’ offers - a richly layered journey of discovery and practical application.


Over 100 days, you'll move along a thoughtfully structured development path that combines one-to-one coaching conversations with guided reflection, practical tools, and bite-sized learning moments that fit around your busy schedule.


What makes this experience different?

This programme recognises that effective management and powerful leadership isn't about following someone else's rule book; it's about creating your own authentic approach that works for you, your team, and your organisation.


Through five carefully crafted stages, you'll move from understanding your current management style to creating a personal blueprint that captures the leader you want, and need, to be. Along the way, you'll receive personalised support from a dedicated coach who acts as your thinking partner, helping you to explore challenges, test new approaches, and reflect on what you're learning.


What will you take away?

By the end of the 100 days, you'll have:

  • Gained clarity about the manager you truly want to be
  • Developed practical strategies for managing different stakeholder relationships
  • Learned how to give and receive future-focused feedback
  • Created a personal blueprint that guides your management decisions
  • Built habits of reflection that support continuous growth

This programme is about developing a deeply personal approach to being a manager who leads in a way that feels authentic to you and delivers results for your team and organisation.
