Managing to Build Strong Teams
A 4-week virtual course with Unlimited Access one-on-one coaching for managers who want to build teams with both great culture and great results.
There's no one-size-fits-all way to lead. Every team brings different personalities, working styles, relationships and organizational dynamics. The best managers aren't the ones with a perfect formula. They have a full toolbox and know which tool to reach for, and when. That's what this course builds.
Strong teams are built through four relationships every manager has to navigate. Each week of this 4-week virtual course focuses on one of those relationships:
Week 1: Managing direct reports
Helping the people you lead do their best work
Week 2: Managing up
Building a strong partnership with your own leadership
Week 3: Managing across
Working effectively with peers and partners you don't manage
Week 4: Managing yourself
Sustaining your energy, health and growth as a leader
Get these four right, and you'll build a team people want to be part of, and one that delivers.
How it works
Weekly Zoom
Four live virtual sessions, 90 minutes each. The first hour covers the three most important skills for that week's relationship. The last 30 minutes are open discussion with the group.
Reflection prompts, not homework.
A short prompt before each session to get in the right mindset, and one after to capture your most important takeaways.
Unlimited Access coaching included.
This time is for deeper dives into your own situations, so group time stays focused on the shared learning. I reply to texts and voice memos within one business day, Monday-Friday. Plus weekly 15-minute Zoom huddles you book when you need them.

Testimonial
Becca is the kind of leader whose impact extends far beyond the work itself. She develops people, strengthens teams, and creates environments where excellence and humanity can coexist.
She understands people, organizational dynamics, and the importance of leading with both purpose and perspective. Her wisdom is reflected not only in the decisions she makes, but in the way she listens, counsels, navigates complexity, and brings people together around a shared objective.
