Empower your middle managers with Elevate Leadership's training. We offer flexible solutions including management courses, 1-on-1 leadership coaching, workshops, short-form classes and more to help mid-level leaders level up their skills from day one.
At Elevate Leadership, we understand the important role middle managers play in bridging the gap between executive vision and team execution. Our training programs focus on advanced leadership skills such as strategic decision-making, effective communication, conflict resolution, and team motivation. With over a decade of experience and a proven track record of empowering thousands of managers, Elevate provides the tools needed to navigate challenges and inspire high-performing teams.
Our Middle Manager Accelerator Program spans six months, offering a deep dive into essential leadership skills through interactive workshops and group coaching. Group coaching is scheduled after each workshop to bring the content to life in the context of their day-to-day and learn from their peers. Here is a sample curriculum that can be covered over the course of the program:
Using your own real-life examples, you will develop a clear understanding of what you can do to think strategically, get your team aligned, and drive accountability. We know keeping people accountable is hard, so we've made the techniques both simple and actionable, with practical changes you can make in your day to day.
Communication often goes wrong because we hear things through our own filters and fail to understand the other person's perspective. Our curriculum focuses on understanding yourself and your team members better so that you can collaborate and communicate more effectively.
We leverage the DiSC assessment to help articulate communication tendencies across your team. You will learn actionable ways in which you can adjust your communication depending which team member you are working with.
Most managers find it hard to know when and how to step in with conflict. You will learn how to help your reports have a conversation to resolve a conflict themselves, and if it comes to it, step in and mediate. We also cover a step-by-step process to successfully navigate that mediation so you can confidently help a relationship in conflict make progress.
Delivering feedback properly is essential to become an effective manager. We teach the neuroscience behind both positive and constructive feedback, and how to make it one of your most effective tools to improve performance.
Using coaching as a leadership technique can dramatically increase the quality of your relationships with your direct reports. They learn how to learn, feel more ownership over their work, and feel more confident in their abilities. Understanding how to coach effectively will level up the performance of your whole team and save you a lot of time.
Whether the change you're going through is large or small, constant or a one-off, this workshop will help you and your team navigate it with finesse. You'll learn how to embrace what's happening to get yourself and your team on board and working effectively again. You will leave with an understanding of how to communicate with your team about the change and proactively monitor their reactions. With Elevate's Change Management Checklist, you'll be prepared to make any transition go as smoothly as possible.

With Elevate’s coaching program, each manager is paired with a dedicated coach who will work closely with them to identify challenges, opportunities, and goals. The process starts with an in-depth assessment, including gathering feedback from members of the manager’s team. Our coach then helps craft a personalized action plan and tracks progress through 1-on-1 coaching sessions, arranged to fit with busy schedules.
Looking for a more scalable solution for a group of mid-level managers? Office hours are a cost-effective option to provide 1-on-1 coaching to a larger group of leaders. A coach is available for a set time each week or month for coaching sessions. Managers in your group can then sign up for a session whenever they need one.
