Course Description
According to careerbuilder.com more than 60% of new leaders don't get any training at all. And even if your organization does provide some training, it often comes too late and lacks a focus on leadership skills that can help you become effective in communicating with, collaborating with, and coaching your team.
And the sad truth is that 40% of new managers fail within the first 18 months of promoting them. Why? Because they don't get the training they need to:
Deal with people
Manage other people's work
Mediate conflict
Be good at project management
Juggle deadlines
Hire and fire
Deal with HR issues
Communicate goals and expectations clearly (leaving everyone floundering)
In other words, they get promoted because they were good at their job-good at the "doing" - not because they can actually manage people or projects and report to the higher-ups.
Now, there's a place where first-time managers and supervisors can learn the kinds of things it usually takes managers years to learn. At Bud to Boss, you can get this quality, focused, practical supervisor training in only 2 days.
Bud to Boss goes beyond the nuts and bolts of your job. You already know that stuff, or else you wouldn't have gotten the promotion. The skills that win the promotion - usually expert technical know-how, a good work ethic, and a good attitude - won't prepare you for all the unexpected challenges managers face.
If you haven't managed people, dealt with heavy time management issues, administered company policy or had to deal with upper management directly before, then you have been left completely unprepared to succeed.
The good news is that while management skills may not always come naturally, they can - and must - be developed. And that's what Bud to Boss is all about.
But will one workshop really cut it?
We understand that one workshop isn't your single ticket to management excellence and we don't expect you to go back after two days and get it all right, all of the time.
Bottom line-as great as the workshop is, like any training, when you return to work, you will have additional questions, and you might encounter a challenge in applying all you learned.
That's why, with Bud to Boss, your registration INCLUDES two live, group coaching sessions! These sessions give you direct and personal access to one of the certified Bud to Boss Trainers, for one full hour per session, after you return from the workshop, to help you master the strategies and techniques you learn in the workshop.

Answers to your most pressing questions
Advice on your stickiest situations
Advice on implementing your ideas and plans more successfully
An opportunity to share successes
Confirmation that what you are planning to try will work
Valuable learning opportunities from the questions &challenges of others in the group
Don't risk your career by stumbling along, making rookie mistakes and learning by trial and error. Get the essential management techniques and strategies you need to succeed.
Register today to become the leader you know you can be.
