Testimonial
“I shared the course with my peers and offered to run a study group. That group went quite well, and I am now starting my third cohort! Everyone in my study groups has come away from the course enlightened. One of the key takeaways from the course has been a shared understanding and vocabulary. The tools in this course are universal. I recommend it to everyone.” —Jake Sutton, Senior Engineering Manager

Testimonials
Demystifying Management Workshop Attendees
“This workshop was critical to my development as a leader. Lara challenged the group in an approachable way, leaving us with the tools and knowledge to transform into the managers we hope to be. This training was not only beneficial for my professional future, but also my personal growth as well.”
“Lara’s Demystifying Management workshop fundamentally changed how I manage and communicate. I put the skills I learned into practice immediately and have seen nothing but positive results.”
“Concepts like sponsoring, setting expectations, or understanding a person’s emotional state seems obvious, but as managers we rarely ever think about them. Lara’s workshop did a great job of highlighting these aspects of people management, explaining their relevance, and giving me the tools to support and address them in my daily work to get the best out of reports.”
