Mid-level and First Time Managers

Upskill and equip future leaders with the tools to enable them to thrive and flourish

This training course, Mid-Level & First Time Managers, is for those who are new to managing reports and teams, and will equip you with skills and knowledge to be an effective manager, while navigating your own workload.

Event professionals are frequently promoted to management roles due to outstanding performance in their individual roles. But just how easy is it to go from being focused on our own progress to being responsible for others?

Pauline was an engaging trainer who took the time to ensure we were catered for despite the varying levels of seniority and range of organisations present at the session. Everyone was able to take some handy information away from the session.

The in-house project management training programme was fantastic in giving us the tools and practical knowledge to more efficiently run and manage our events. Pauline was a really engaging and exceptional training lead, and allowed us to get the maximum we could out of the time together. The tools I have learned will serve me well in running future projects from their inception to delivery.
