New Managers

Managing people is a different job.   Over 60% of new managers report getting no training, coaching, or support when they need it most. 

If you’ve never done this before, and if you’ve never had someone demystify and simplify things for you, you’re in good company!

The good news is that you have support.

My job is to equip you with the mindset and skills every manager needs to successfully manage diverse humans — so that you, your team, your organization, and your wider community can thrive.  

Here’s how. . .


Join an upcoming cohort

Communication Strategies for Managers is a 6-week course, taught LIVE by Kim Nicol, that gives you foundational skills to become a more calm, confident, leader.  You’ll learn how to communicate effectively, manage different personalities, and will be ready for tough conversations (like feedback and performance reviews).    

This course is for:

  • Seasoned leaders who want a fresh perspective as they face new challenges.
  • New managers who want to learn foundational skills they will need to succeed.
  • Aspiring managers who want a head start in leveling-up essential skills.

View the schedule and syllabus, and register to join.

Team discounts and private cohorts are available. 

Please get in touch to discuss your needs.
