We provide manager training through our video-based Manager 101 course, with its one-of-a-kind Resource Guide and Toolkit, to empower your HR/People team to lead follow-up manager cohorts to bring training to life.

Ashley also provides live training and speaking, from virtual organizational manager training, to in-person keynotes for large events.

If you just need resources, we have tools to make your life easier - from Toolkits on Performance Management and “Working Together Effectively” to help teams find their rhythm, and template Employee Handbook language to help bring a human voice to your policies.

Our Enterprise Packages combinet these offerings into one solution - to bring engaging training to your managers, and actionable tools for your team, for one flat-fee.

Because Manager 101 is flexible (scalable video training + follow-up live tools), informative and (perhaps most importantly) engaging, to make your managers ready to lead and drive engagement on their teams. We leverage experience + an understanding that people want practical information in digestible ways. Many managers don't know what to do/say in "people" situations, so we provide experience from top organizations with real-talk lessons. It combines my Legal/HR knowledge with a style that has resonated beyond social media and LinkedIn Learning, to create lasting changes for organizations. Our follow-up Toolkits empower HR/People teams to confidently lead follow-up sessions for their teams.

Manager 101 can be purchased on a per-manager license. Managers have told us they go back and review videos and the Resource Guide at different times (e.g., when delegating, or in performance review season). Every manager receives a dedicated portal login on the Manager Method website. In that portal, managers watch videos (broken down by digestible topics and subtopics), download the Resource Guide and can even privately ask questions that we can see and respond to.

Absolutely — let your company know you are interested in Manager 101 as professional development. We’ve even made it easy for you by creating a template here. You let them know we offer volume discounts for numerous purchases, and have a plug-and-play Toolkit for your company to run practice and feedback situations for managers after the training!

I get it - budgets don’t always allow for external resources, so you may be tasked with creating it yourself. But how far down is that on your to-do list? And the thing is… Manager 101 packages cost far less than the cost of creating training internally. And this training is already created and ready for your managers to start TODAY.

As soon as you’re ready, your managers can have the training they need to lead a successful team.

As a General Counsel and Head of HR, I’ve worked for and with managers and HR teams around the world. I’ve helped companies like McKinsey and Yum! Brands upskill their managers and HR for productive work environments and effective communication and support.

But I also know that training needs to be interesting and engaging. Most are flat-out boring. I’ve created communities of over 250,000 followers on social media, including TikTok, Instagram and LinkedIn, so I know how important it is to get and keep your attention. I’m a LinkedIn Learning instructor with one of the most popular people management courses, have been featured on CNN, HR Brew and the Financial Times, and co-host of the “HR Besties” podcast that has charted in the Top 10 Business categories on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Our courses provide annual licenses for managers. For Enterprise Package clients, your managers have access as long as you remain a client organization.

The training is about 5 ½ hours long. Some managers love to binge it like their new favorite show (really!). Others can take about 30 minutes a week over the course of a few months. For organizations, we provide sample schedules, and communication packets so you can roll those out internally, to proudly announce the investment you’re making in your managers.

It means that you have invested your time and resources into the Manager 101 course, and built the skills organizations are looking for. You can include it in your resume and show it off on social media — we even send you an online certificate to do so. Our managers have posted it on LinkedIn - which helps show your organization’s commitment to investing it your people.

It’s self-paced and we provide progress reports to organizations to ensure you receive the return on investment you deserve. We even have communication templates for you to introduce the course, give reminders and even “nudges” to those managers who may put things off until the last minute. Each manager receives a certificate upon completion that they can retain and display.

Our goal is to not just check a box, but transform your organization. To extend the work, we provie Toolkits for HR to use post-training to guide your conversations. They also help managers know exactly what to do and say. Our Enterprise Packages provide additional tools (from quarterly calls to monthly resources and more) to drive home learnings to result in maximum impact.

The Toolkit is designed to run numerous discussion sessions for managers, and includes step-by-step instructions and talking points. You receive a ready-to-go resource, without spending months trying to find time to put it together.

The Toolkit includes a PowerPoint deck, Word document with scripts and a train-the-trainer video. The deck and scripts include situations and questions each tied to Manager 101 modules, for discussion and roleplay. You can assign certain modules and cover them in the follow-up sessions using the Toolkit. We even provide coaching talking points for the People/HR leader of the session, to help you know exactly what to say to drive home the learning (without reinventing the wheel).

A designated contact at your organization (usually People/HR team) will receive the Toolkit and can customize it, including adding your logo, and even additional situations specific to your business.

This is for new and experienced managers. In our experience, providing a consistent training to all of your people managers helps level the playing field and ensure your teams are hearing similar approaches. Having even your top leaders helps ensure a transformation across-the-board.

Organizations from every industry have utilized Manager 101 - from tech to healthcare to non-profit to food and beverage. It is for in-person, hybrid and remote environments. It’s designed to be scalable - and we’re even adding modules targeted to different industries that you can provide. If you have more than 10 managers, we provide the volume discount. We work with plenty of smaller organizations, too! You can contact us (click here) to purchase licenses in bulk and the Toolkit for your teams.
