Are you looking for training that has:
✓
The lasting impact you’re looking for?
✓
The conversational and watchable style your teams and managers are looking for?
✓
The credibility your leaders are looking for?
Whether you're seeking on-demand training for yourself or a comprehensive package for your organization, Ashley Herd and Manager Method® have you covered. We expertly craft impactful training to empower employees, managers, and senior leaders alike. Our practical, engaging programs equip managers to handle people situations with confidence. When we partner with you, it's not just about "a training" - it’s about providing a complete solution to elevate your teams' skills.
The result?
An organization where work not only gets done well, but can be a place where people genuinely look forward to working together.
Does This
Sound Familiar?
You have great employees who you’ve moved into manager roles so they can teach others. But great managers don't just “happen.” They need knowledge, skills, and tools to lead effectively.
Or… You have senior leaders who are used to managing teams, but haven’t been trained on strategic thinking. They need ideas on how to think (and act) as leaders of the organization.
Or… You have employees who don’t know how to communicate. You’re looking for “work etiquette” training, but realize that no one wants to take a course called that, and employees need more than just manners. They need training on how to succeed at work.
Or do all of these resonate?
While you'd love to provide training yourself, your plate is already overflowing, just like the plates of your employees and managers who need to learn exactly what to do in the situations they face.
When your team hasn’t gotten practical, engaging training, it creates negative ripple effects across your organization. Your best employees become disengaged and leave. Your managers respond to employee issues with silence or, worse, the wrong approach, leading to issues for Legal and HR. You want to create a senior leadership bench, but your managers haven’t been taught how to think strategically.
So, what’s the solution?
Hi!
I'm Ashley.
As an experienced lawyer and HR leader, I’ve seen great managers fail without proper training. But I’ve also seen them succeed (and have powerful ripple effects for their teams) when they’ve received the training they need, including practicing it so they’re ready when situations arise.
You might know me from TikTok or Instagram (@managermethod) or as a LinkedIn Learning instructor, where I share engaging, bite-sized advice on management situations.
So far, my content has been viewed and shared by millions, and my LinkedIn Learning courses on people management are top-rated due to their practical, actionable tips.
I know you’re looking for training that you can confidently recommend to your organization. This is it.

Now, I help YOU equip your teams to succeed.
Why? Because I know too often, people get frustrated at work. What if they could feel a bit more confident? And what if they could feel a lot more confident?
Everyone at work needs and deserves better tools to work and lead confidently day-to-day. When you can empower your teams, you create positive ripple effects for the entire organization. Then, you can all focus on more rewarding, strategic work (confidently!).
That’s why I created Manager Method.
To help hard-working employees and managers get the resources they’ve been looking for, and help HR leaders have ready-to-go ways to deliver these resources in ways that stick.

Manager 101
We found Ashley on Instagram and loved her Luke responses so we rolled out her Manager 101 course to all of our managers and have seen a big improvement on what is expected and how to be a better manager across our organization. Ashley not only knows management but brings a great US and international compliance perspective with her Legal background. Now all of our new and aspiring managers go through Ashley's Manager Method program.

Manager 101 provides a rock-solid foundation for managers. It's not just informative; it's also engaging and relevant. The self-paced modules accommodate even the busiest of schedules, and its straightforward language, devoid of legalese, ensures that managers at all levels, whether new or seasoned, can readily apply what they've learned. When colleagues, whether new managers in Romania or seasoned professionals seeking a refresher, seek my advice on managerial skills, my go-to recommendation is Manager Method.

I did not have a single question left unanswered and this course anticipated others!! The Resource Guide is invaluable and Manager Method® even provides talking points that we can use when practicing some situational challenges. This was by far one of the best training experiences that I have had and I do not get impressed easily at this stage in my career. Really: BRAVO!! If you are reading this and wondering whether you will get much out of it, buckle up: you will get a whole lot more!

It was so great - the videos felt like a conversation. As you create more courses, please don’t change that at all.

I cannot thank you enough for such an informative and insightful talk yesterday. Your wisdom shines through in your advice, and everyone on the board really appreciated your thoughts on being an effective and empathetic manager.
