Mates 2 Managers
A workshop by The Woohoo Company
The Mates 2 Managers program is designed to empower individuals as they step up from peer roles to leadership positions. This practical and tailored program equips new and emerging leaders with essential skills and insights to lead teams effectively, align with organisational values, and foster a positive workplace culture.
The program includes modules delivered through multiple sessions, over a period of months to give attendees the chance to develop skills, practice tasks, and obtain feedback at every session.
