You don't need more advice.
You need to know what to focus on.
There’s no shortage of management advice. Between podcasts, books and LinkedIn, there’s more than anyone with an actual team to run could ever get through. That’s not the problem.
The problem is that almost none of it changes anything. Not how you handle the team member who’s underperforming. Not the “difficult conversation” you’ve been putting off. Not how your team performs when you’re not in the room.
Getting better as a manager doesn’t come from consuming more, it comes from consistently working on the few things that shift how you lead, and staying with them long enough for it to actually make a difference.
Introducing The Effective Manager Circle - ongoing development for managers, built to fit around the job, not on top of it. Developed and run by a coach who’s worked with over 400 managers on the areas that genuinely make them more effective.
- Monthly live group session - bring the real management challenges you’re dealing with and work through them live: the team member who’s underperforming, the conversation you’ve been avoiding because you’re not sure how to have it, the accountability that keeps slipping no matter what you try. Live coaching, straight answers, and the thing most managers never get - hearing how others are handling the same problems.
- Mid-month coachable moment - a focused management coaching insight designed to help you think differently and act more effectively, with a clear takeaway you can apply immediately.
- Community of managers to learn from, lean on and stay accountable to - people who understand the job because they’re doing it too. Tap into the collective experience of a committed Circle that will challenge your thinking, share what works and help you follow through.
- Member library - every live session is recorded, every coachable moment is added to the member library, and new practical resources are added regularly, so the value keeps building and you can return to what you need, when you need it.
- Virtual difficult conversation coach - access live, virtual coaching support whenever you need it to talk through and prepare for a difficult conversation before you have it.
You don’t need to be struggling to belong in The Circle. It’s also for the manager whose team is running well right now and who wants to keep it that way. The strongest performers in any field don’t drop their coach the moment things are going well, they keep one precisely because things are going well - that’s when you protect what you’ve built and keep improving.
What managers say
From managers Jess has trained and coached through Human Tribe.
“I’ve been managing people since 2005 and completed a lot of training along the way. Jess’ program was by far the best management training course that I have completed.”
Tim S, Branch Manager“Jess’ program gave me more confidence to have difficult conversations and a deeper awareness of myself as a manager. I’ve learned to understand and appreciate different behaviours and perspectives, and to adapt my approach so I can lead more effectively. It’s been invaluable in shaping me into a more confident and capable leader.”
Sarah I, Clinical Lead“Jess brings real depth of knowledge and genuine care to every session. She has a gift for commanding the room in a way that makes the content easy to absorb, understand, and put into practice straight away.”
