Hear from Past Participants
“Throughout the course I have been implementing new learnings and techniques along the way, and have already seen a huge difference in the productivity of my team.” - Brooke M., Grocery MDSG
“I really appreciated the "know my role" session because it gave me the gut check reminder that I needed to deve-ligate (develop and delegate) more. I have taken that to heart so I can focus on strategy and leading the team rather than the day to day.” - Megan M., Omnichannel Content Strategy Manager
“This course was very eye-opening and helpful all at the same time. I would recommend this course to all new managers moving up within the company.” - Christi M., Store Leader
