LEADERSHIP SERIES: Think Like A Manager: You've Been Promoted - What's Next?

IN PERSON


Tuesday, September 9, 2025
9:30 AM - 12:30 PM (EDT)

You’ve been promoted, what’s next? We are often promoted into roles due to a stellar skill set, yet the hardest part of being a manager and/or leader is understanding that you are now accountable for the success of those around you.   In essence, becoming a manager entail giving your “power” away and working through a team. 

This class will encourage a shift in mindset.  A focus on accountability and embodiment of “big picture” thought processes.  We will cover the following in class:

  • Identify feelings associated with obtaining a new role.
  • Recognize that becoming a manager correlates with a release of power, not a gain.
  • Examine practices to make the transition to a new role less uncomfortable. 
  • Employ strategies to embrace “big picture” thinking. 
  • Review basic leadership practices to assist with a transition into any managerial role. 

Target audience: new managers, anyone new to a role
