In-Person Workshop for First-Time People Leaders

Join Mon and Eve in a 4-hour in-person workshop to give new managers confidence and clarity to lead like a pro.

So you’ve been promoted… and now you’re suddenly in charge of people.

Congrats! Also - yikes.

Most first-time managers are thrown into leadership with zero training and a long list of expectations. You're meant to set direction, give feedback, manage personalities, hit KPIs and somehow keep everyone happy… all while still doing your day job.

It’s no wonder so many leaders feel like they’re faking it (or quietly asking Chat GPT “how to manage people without losing your mind”).

This workshop is your shortcut.
Four hours. In a room. With practical tools, real talk and the foundations every leader should have before they inherit a team.

If you manage people (or are about to), and you want to do it with clarity instead of chaos—this is for you.

What You’ll Walk Away With:

  • Confidence in your leadership style (without copying your old boss)

  • Clarity on boundaries, expectations and your actual job as a manager

  • A rhythm for your team so you’re not constantly chasing problems

  • Tools to give feedback without the awkwardness

  • Know-how for handling tricky people issues without the stress

  • A basic HR safety net so you don’t accidentally end up in hot water

And the end game?


A team that trusts you, respects you, and actually looks forward to Mondays.

What we cover….

Step Into Leadership (Without the Identity Crisis)

  • Find your own management style (not “mini me” of a past boss)

  • Leader vs doer - making the mindset jump

  • Boundaries: you’re not everyone’s mate anymore

Set the Rhythm & Expectations

  • Team routines that stop chaos before it starts

  • Keeping track of the “moments that matter”

  • Role clarity without overcomplicating it

  • Goals and performance that are actually measurable

Feedback Without the Fear

  • What to say and how to say it (with Radical Candor)

  • Critical feedback, bad news and tricky truths—done well

  • Celebrating effort in ways people actually value

Leading Through People Problems

  • When personal stuff spills into work

  • Conflict between others - when to jump in or step back

  • Performance conversations before they blow up

  • Misconduct and terminations (the human side)

The Side-Dish of HR (That You Didn’t Order)

  • The basics of Australian employment law

  • Entitlements you actually need to know

  • Ensuring nothing you do puts the business at legal risk

The Good Coach

  • Empowering your team to solve their own problems

  • Delegation and upskilling (without dumping tasks)

  • Training as an investment, not a time suck

  • Growth plans that don’t feel like punishment

Who This Is For:

✔ First-time managers
✔ Team leaders and supervisors
✔ High performers who’ve just inherited people
✔ Business owners who never got leadership training
✔ Anyone who feels like they’re “making it up as they go”

The Vibe

Practical. Real. Tried and tested.


Stories, examples and frameworks you can steal immediately. You'll leave with scripts, questions, structures and approaches you can start using the very next day.

The Outcome

You’ll stop second-guessing yourself and start leading with confidence.


Your team will know what to expect from you.


You’ll feel less reactive and more in control.


And Mondays won’t feel like damage control.

Ready to lead like you mean it?


Let’s get you out of survival mode and growing into a real leader.
