STRIDE - Kickstart
From individual contributor to ready manager
Stepping into your first leadership role often happens fast - and sometimes faster than you feel ready for.
Most new managers are left figuring this out through trial and error. Kickstart is designed for this moment.
The program provides practical leadership development coaching to support communication, leadership style, and early relational challenges.
- Leadership development coaching
- transition coaching
Who the program is for
STRIDE - Kickstart is for leaders at the start of their leadership journey, stepping into management for the first time.
It is for high performers who are confident technically but still working out how to lead others.
It is for people who want to prepare properly, rather than learning through avoidable mistakes.
The Kickstart program is for you if you are:
- Reflective.
- Open to feedback.
- Willing to examine how your behavior lands with others.
- Ready to step into your first leadership role more prepared and confident.
