01 / WHAT WE DO
We develop managers
people want to work with.
PUSH runs development programmes for managers at every level, from people taking their first steps into management to senior leaders one tier below the top. Our programmes combine practical workshops with coaching and measurement, helping managers put what they learn into practice and showing what changes. We also develop teams and offer one-to-one and group coaching.
Programmes for managers.
Three programmes for three stages: Managing with Impact for new and developing managers, focused on the fundamentals of managing people; Emerging Leaders for managers heading upwards; and Leading the Way for senior leaders. Each is a series of practical workshops, with coaching alongside, over ten weeks to ten months.
Team development.
SDI profiling so a team understands each other, High-Performance Communication, for teams that avoid the hard conversations, and Reset & Reconnect, for teams after a restructure or big change.
Coaching and in-house delivery.
1:1 and group coaching for leaders and managers, and Train the Trainer so your own L&D team can run PUSH programmes.
In person or virtual. Delivered by us, with your team, or by your team.
02 / PROGRAMMES
Development for every level and need.
Managers
Three programmes, from new and developing managers to senior leaders: Managing with Impact, Emerging Leaders and Leading the Way.
Teams
SDI Profiling, built on individual profiles for every team member. High-Performance Communication, for how teams talk, disagree and give feedback. Reset & Reconnect, for teams after a restructure or big change. And Bringing Your Values & Culture to Life, making new values real.
03 / WHAT WE BELIEVE
People leadership is experienced one conversation and action at a time.
Work is still people working with people, and at the centre of it sits the manager. We help managers understand themselves, understand their people, and get the best from their team. Develop the manager, and the rest follows.
04 / THE DIFFERENCE
It starts working on Monday.
Most training is interesting on the day and forgotten by the next week. Every PUSH session ends with a commitment: one conversation you'll have this week, one thing you'll stop leaving unsaid, and one action you'll take. Then coaching keeps it going.
"Faster response to poor performance and feedback. Not sitting on it."
"Asking for more feedback in 1:1s and not avoiding difficult conversations."
"Rather than finishing their sentences, I'm asking questions and encouraging them to share more."
