Who is This Event Recommended For?

This event is open to all but ideal for anyone new to leadership, such as:

  • New or soon-to-be promoted managers
  • Team members who go above & beyond
  • Entrepreneurs and small business owners preparing for expansion
  • Experienced managers interested in a refresher and new insights
  • Teams are welcome!

Attendee Perks

All participants will receive lunch and a copy of Ryan Hawk’s book, with forward written by Gen. Stanley McCrystal, “Welcome to Management.” Welcome To Management gives the tools and strategies to minimize the steep learning curve of management and be an effective leader immediately. This book is a map that new (or experienced) managers can follow in order to be an excellent leader instead of unwittingly being a “bad boss.”

This is an unbelievable value. This event will have limited seating and will sell out FAST (only 125 seats available!).

If you are passionate about being prepared for your next role or making sure that all new managers at your company are equipped for success – join us!
