Participant Reviews

I am continually working to build trust with my team members by utilizing many of the techniques and models discussed in our sessions. Fostering psychological safety is really important to me as a manager.

The breakout activities were brilliant in this program! Elevate helped our cohort learn and practice models and tools that can be easily utilized to manage our teams. We were able to highlight bias in our particular case which is something that was the biggest take-away for me.

Client Reviews

  • "I can't say enough amazing things about working with the How Do You Manage team. When I work with this team, they feel like at true extension of our team members. Their team is collaborative, understanding, and driven. They take our many, many ideas and make them a reality in a ways that we couldn't do without them. Most importantly, the team is focused on building real relationships with us, and as a result, we've built trust that lets us take risks and learn from others."

  • "Working with How Do You Manage has been amazing. I feel really proud when looking at how much the program has developed from the initial pilot to where we’re at now, over a year later. Throughout the ups and downs of the project they’ve been incredibly adaptable to change, and the way the whole team has embraced our particular ways of working is commendable. All of this has been achieved in a really positive and supportive environment, which has been the foundation of such a great working relationship."
