A 2-hour workshop + digital playbook for agency leaders ready to grow trust, engagement, and team momentum—one conversation at a time.
Great managers aren’t born. They’re built, one conversation at a time.
If you lead a team, you’ve probably wished for a playbook. A simple, human way to connect with each person on your team. To understand what motivates them, what’s getting in their way, and how to help them do their best work.
That’s where great 1:1s come in.
This workshop is your hands-on guide to making the most of your 1:1s—so you can lead with confidence, build stronger relationships, and unlock your team’s full potential.
This is the missing playbook for people-first leadership.
Join us for a live 2-hour Zoom workshop, created especially for agency managers and leaders, where you’ll learn how to:
✅ Turn your 1:1s into your most effective leadership tool
