DID YOU KNOW...
According to a range of studies, 40-60% of new managers fail or underperform within their first 2 years on the job!

It's shocking and it hurts! Yet, I see the reality of this way too often. 

Managers who underperform obviously miss opportunities for career growth, raises, and promotions which hurts financially...

But what's even worse is that their self-confidence drops to the floor and they might start thinking about giving up that dream of reaching the C-Suite one day. 

And that's what's so hard!

Because the truth is that the problem is not the manager.  

The reason all this is happening is that a vast majority of new managers never receive the leadership training they desperately need. 

Because...

 “The activities that made you a successful individual contributor yesterday LOOK NOTHING LIKE the activities that will make you successful as a manager today.”
(a quote by Kim Scott, best-selling author of Radical Candor and former executive at Google & Apple)

So making small tweaks to how you manage or watching LinkedIn Learning courses here or there will never create the actual transformation and mindset shift you need to step into your power, have real impact, and lead yourself and your team with confidence.

But as a first-time manager, you don't know what you don't know yet - and without a mentor to guide you, what you don't know can really hurt you!

IF YOU SAY YES TO AT LEAST 2 OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS, THEN KEEP READING!
  • You took on your first leadership role within the last 3 years and you wonder if you really have what it takes to succeed in a leadership career
  • You've been leading a team for a few years but you never had the real leadership training you know you need to finally increase trust, engagement, and motivation on your team
  • ​You have great ideas but it seems like they're not getting picked up or no one is listening
  • ​You feel stressed or overwhelmed with everything you're supposed to do and you don't know how to remain the calm, cool, and patient leader you'd like to be
  • ​You're dreading feedback discussions and you're not sure how to give effective and meaningful feedback without disturbing the peace
  • You have trouble saying no to events that drain you or to additional projects which you know you don't have the time for
  • ​You wonder why your team members aren't delivering what you expect and you're getting frustrated with the lack of quality or accountability on the team
  •  You want to have real influence and dislike office politics and "playing the game"
  • ​You feel like doing a "good enough" job but you know you could be so much more effective if you finally invested in developing your leadership skills
  • ​You don't receive good feedback from your boss and at times that makes you feel lonely and unsupported
  • ​You watch videos, listen to podcasts, and read books on leadership but you still doubt yourself and don't always know how to handle difficult situations with your directs or your boss
THERE IS GOOD NEWS!
None of these challenges are your fault!

We don't learn these skills in school and it's likely that you didn't receive any leadership training at work either.

Plus, what you need is not more information, but real transformation!

So, imagine how it would feel if you could...

... have the courage and the confidence to give honest and helpful feedback to anyone without a blink,
... hold 1-on-1s with your directs that are effective and meaningful because you trust them and they trust you, and
... delegate in a way that motivates your team members to be 100% accountable and reliable.

And that's why I'm thrilled to invite you to...

WHAT OTHERS SAY

Ramona has been the single biggest factor...


"Ramona has been the single biggest factor in me being able to survive a thrilling and successful but challenging trajectory from individual contributor to Director of Engineering at a hyper-growth technology startup in less than two years.

She's a terrific person who is fun and interesting to work with, and also very caring. She is also incredibly insightful and forceful in not letting you, as a leader, rest on your laurels, fool yourself with distorted thinking or mis-evaluation of your own impact, nor give up on yourself or your team when the going is tough.

Ramona is amazing at helping you hold up a mirror to how you think, act, and communicate when you are trying to lead and achieve. This helps you to see some bad habits and self-defeating behaviors that you need to stop ignoring or making excuses for, but also to see talent and ability that you might have been too scared, inexperienced, or tentative to notice or cultivate.

If you want to be a better leader or grow better leaders in your organization, Ramona has my absolutely unqualified recommendation!"

MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I'm Ramona, your coach, and I want to share something with you...

When I was a first-time manager back in 2011, I WISHED I had someone present a program like this to me. 

I WISHED someone would have taken the time to teach me what leadership is all about, how to be effective at it, and how to inspire and motivate my team without being controlling and frustrated. 

I WISHED there would have been a safe place to learn and ask questions.

Because my first few years as a new manager were a struggle.

While I was doing a "good enough" job, I realized later that I really had no clue what I was doing right and what I was doing wrong. I was confident but I was blind. 

I didn't understand that success is now about my team succeeding and not about me anymore. I couldn't figure out how to get my team to deliver the "quality" I expected (well, now I know I was controlling..). And I constantly felt stressed. 

While I had good and supportive managers, I never had anyone from outside my organization say: "Hey, let me train, mentor, and support you. Let me give you resources, tools, and strategies you absolutely need now that you're leading a team. That way you can get spared from learning everything the hard way." 

Well today, I'm honored and blessed to be that person to dozens of managers who understand that they'll get ahead faster and easier if they stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before them. 

And because you might be one of them, I'm looking forward to meeting you soon!

RAMONA SHAW
Leadership Coach & Creator of the Leadership Accelerator



FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How will this program be delivered?
This is a 3-months program. Each week, you will receive access to a new training module and we will meet for a coaching call on Thursday. In addition, you'll get assignments to complete during the week and I'm available for ad-hoc support as and when you need it. 

To start the program, you'll be asked to complete 2 assessments and we'll schedule a 1-on-1 call to debrief the assessments and discuss specific challenges and goals for your personal situation. 

Towards the end of the program, we will have one additional 1-on-1 call to plan out your future development goals and next steps. 
What if I can’t make the live calls?
No problem. All calls will be recorded and made available to you in a Member Area dedicated to this program. You can access the recordings within a few hours after the live calls and watch them whenever you have the time. 

If you have questions, you can submit them in advance and I'll make sure to address them during the live coaching call so you can get the answer when you watch the recording. You can also reach out directly and ask for ad-hoc support on urgent topics. 
How much time will this take each week?
You will need to invest about 2 hours each week to watch the training videos, participate in the coaching calls, and follow through on your action plan for that week.

I know you're busy and wonder how you could possibly add more to your workload than you already have. However, one of the first trainings will be about productivity so you can find ways to gain back at least 5 hours of your time. Plus, what you'll learn in this training will save you a significant amount of time in managing your team and dealing with issues that you'll be able to prevent. 
Can my employer help cover the cost of this program?
Check with your manager and the human resources team to determine your professional development budget as well as any leadership development, training, or tuition reimbursement budget.

Check out the template letter below to help justify your participation in this program and explain why it is important that you attend. It outlines learning objectives, session details, and cost estimates. Feel free to customize to make it your own. Then just copy and paste the text into an email, and send it to your supervisor.

I'm not sure if this is right for me. What should I do?
If you’re not sure if this is the right program for you right now, just apply and we can have a conversation before you decide. 
Who is this not for?
This program is not people looking to find a new job in a leadership role. This program is designed specifically for new managers who have recently been promoted or are a few years into their job and who want to now learn and apply the critical leadership skills no one has taught them before. 
Time is of the essence. Here's why...
Every day you wait to invest in your leadership skills is another day you're wasting feeling stuck and overwhelmed... 
Another day you're missing out on increasing trust, engagement and motivation on your team... 
And another day of feeling lonely and unsupported instead of valued and respected.

Are you ready to start building the leadership skills that will help you lead with confidence?
JOIN THE LEADERSHIP ACCELERATOR PROGRAM AND...
GET ready to outperform as a new Manager!
The coaching and training you'll receive inside the Leadership Accelerator can literally be the difference between a successful business leadership career and one that never gets off the ground. 

Your boss and your team are waiting for you to show up and be the leader they need!
