Manager Training Programmes
THE GAP
While Masterclasses are aimed at senior executives paving the road for employees to succeed, Manager Training Programmes are designed to equip senior and middle management staff to travel on the road. Employees working in a corporate setting feel that they need some level of upskilling and empowerment to progress. Learning new and practical skills has been proven to have a direct positive impact on job satisfaction and morale. Our selection of Manager Training Programmes have been designed to improve efficiency and sharpen leadership skills.

Supporting self-identity exploration, self-reflection and self-discovery to focus on building core strengths
