A convenient new approach to professional development for busy managers. Learn the specific skills you need, WHEN you need them with brief, highly focused lessons.

1. Take your management
skills to the next level
With as little as 30 minutes
per week!
Debbie Narver
Strategic Management Instructor

2. Yes you can improve your
management skills!
Forget the “Natural
Born Leader” myth.
Management and
Leadership are skills
that can be learned,
just like any other!

new approach to
professional
development?

3. Do some of these issues sound familiar?
Competing
priorities
Conflict Confusion
Constant Change
Problems that
just keep coming
back - bigger!
People just don’t
seem to listen!

4. A common
story for
managers
Organizations take someone that
is very competent in their role and
promote them to management.
But often, the aren’t provided
with the training they need to
succeed
It’s like being thrown in the deep
end of the pool without
swimming lessons!

5. It’s not
your fault!
Organizations often fail to recognize
that management is a discipline that
must be LEARNED like any other
It’s not fair to expect someone to
just “learn it as they go” by trial and
error
And learning from other untrained
managers can perpetuate bad
practices

6. My Story
Started with a BSc, progressed from
technical role to leadership positions
Leadership courses were offered only
once or twice a year (or less!).
Mostly learned by trial and error (Ouch!!)
Vision: I saw the need for Managers to
be able to learn specific skills as and
when needed!

7. Focus on Practical skills
that you can use NOW:
Be more effective in your
current role
Position yourself for future
roles
Simple tools & techniques

8. Strategic Manager
Learning System
Enhanced my own skills through an
International MBA
Worked as a consultant with all types
of organizations
Designed this learning system to
build superior management
competencies while on the job.
Bring real examples from my own
experiences.
