Management training that makes an immediate difference.
We know that many people are deeply sceptical about management training and with good reason. Far too much of it is overly theoretical, impractical and quickly forgotten.
At Phoenix, we do things differently.
Great management training doesn’t have to be complicated. Our content is relevant, engaging, immediately applicable and above all, useful for managers in any industry.
With flexibility at their core, our short, sharp sessions fit seamlessly around participants’ existing responsibilities to maximise engagement while minimising disruption.
What’s more, we track the impact of all our programmes ensuring that your investment is never wasted.
Take a look at some of our most popular programmes:
New Managers
Suitable for:
New or untrained managers, supervisors or team leaders.
Management Essentials
Suitable for:
Existing managers with little formal training or those in need of a refresher.
Senior Managers
Suitable for:
Experienced people managers and leaders.
Leading High Performance with SLII®
Suitable for:
Managers and leaders looking to fully understand Blanchard’s SLII® model.
121 Management & Coaching
Suitable for:
Anyone in need of personalised 121 support to help maximise their potential.
We know every manager’s role is unique — different people, different environments, different pressures and goals. That’s why we design every programme around the specific challenges your managers face.
Some common ones are:
- A manager who’s brilliant technically but struggles to get the best out of their team
- A team leader struggling to make the shift from best mate to boss
- Leaders dealing with long-standing colleagues who are reluctant to change
- A supervisor who avoids difficult conversations and holds back on delivering feedback
- A colleague whose blunt communication style causes friction
- A director who lets performance issues drift until HR has to step in
- Teams in which retaining good staff is becoming a real challenge
- Managers who jump in and take over instead of delegating and developing their team

Want a formal accreditation?
Most of our modular programmes are endorsed by the Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) which gives the participants an opportunity to undertake an assessment that, if successfully completed, will qualify them for an ILM Recognised Certificate.
Modular Format
Our most effective programmes always use a modular format.
Depending on your needs and objectives, these are usually made up of 3 or 4 relevant modules, delivered face to face or on Teams with approximately 2 weeks in between.
Why it works
We used to run traditional one- or two-day courses that would leave participants feeling motivated and full of good intentions to apply what they’ve learned. However, research and experience has shown us that this enthusiasm rarely translated into lasting behavioural change.
Our modular approach addresses this fundamental flaw.
It gives people time to prepare and bring real workplace challenges into the sessions, practise new skills while the learning is still fresh, and reflect on what’s working and what isn’t. Perhaps most importantly, knowing there will be follow-up and ongoing support encourages participants to start applying the learning straight away.
Short, Sharp Sessions
Enhancing the modular format, we prefer to use short, sharp sessions combined with a range of tasks and activities that participants must complete independently.
This means that we can build the programme around the participants’ existing commitments, minimising disruption and time away from their day to day challenges.
Why they work
“Can’t afford a whole day out of the workplace? Too much to do, no one to cover”. Sound familiar?
We know that time is precious, so we design our programmes to fit around your organisational needs and logistical challenges.
Flexible start times help minimise disruption and reduce time away from day-to-day responsibilities.
Delivery can be either virtual or face-to-face at your premises, helping to remove unnecessary travel costs and making sure time is spent where it matters most — back on the job.

Inspire by Adam Galinsky
One of the best management and leadership books I have ever read. A really, insightful examination of what it takes for leaders to genuinely inspire their teams. It discusses the challenges of modern leadership and discusses how easy it is to slip from “inspiration” to “infuriation”. I would highly recommend this to anyone in a leadership role, a manager of a team or someone who is considering becoming one.
