Does any of this sound familiar?

You are aspiring to become a manager, but not clear on what you need to do to become one

You are new to management and feel full of self-doubt, grappling with the whole “Buddy to Boss” shift in relationships, or just trying to build your credibility

You’re are a seasoned manager, but lost your mojo and wondering what difference you make, and looking for the next move in your career

If it does, then you already know how hard it is to find someone to talk to who understands what you are going through, and to get practical advice, tools and encouragement to help you.

That’s why we created the

Clinician 2 Manager Academy

We know how overwhelming and stressful it can be when you step into management thanks to:

An expectation that if you are an experienced clinician you SHOULD be able to manage

No mentoring and support from experienced and successful leaders

A lack of practical training to help you do the job

Academic programs that just don’t provide the practical know how to do the job confidently

Thankfully, all of that is behind you…

Introducing the

Clinician 2 Manager Academy

The Academy provides you the road map and support crew to help you everyday as you move from clinician and up the management rungs.

It’s an Academy for managers and aspiring managers, providing essential resources, training, and advice to deal with the practical, everyday issues managers face.

PLUS the community support you need to encourage and guide you to become a powerful leader.

The Clinician 2 Manager Academy helps you to:

Get a clear picture of what it means to be an empowered leader, and the road map, skills and tools to get there – saving years of frustration and stress.

Build your confidence to lead and manage – reveal your leadership power.

Build a high performing team and a place where people love coming to work.

Tap into the collective wisdom and experience of a community of clinical managers and experts who are there to support each other. Meet leadership experts and listen to their stories and pearls of wisdom.

Become infinitely better at managing your team on a day to day basis, so that you have way more time and far less stress.

Get that next job so you can make a bigger difference – and even earn more money!

We know the value of networking and sharing stories from the trenches. There is no better way of managing your worry and getting more sleep than having a community of trusted friends to call on and talk about your concerns, and get down to earth advice on how others have dealt with them.

NOT SURE IF THE Clinician 2 Manager Academy IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

The Academy is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we’d prefer to help you figure out if it’s not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let’s cut to the chase…

WHO THE ACADEMY IS FOR
Clinicians aspiring to become managers and want to understand the role and what they need to do to get that job.

Beginning managers who want to side step the confusion and get the skills and tools to do the job confidently.

Managers who want to fast track their journey to empowered leadership – and stop treading water.

Clinical leaders who want to make a bigger difference, higher income, greater influence and freedom to choose their career path and their life - and are willing to put time and energy into making their leadership dreams a reality.

Action takers who aren’t just going to watch some training videos and never implement. We provide the training and resources, but you still need to do the work!

Empowered people who are driven to make a difference and who take responsibility for their own development.
WHO THE ACADEMY IS NOT FOR
Anyone who does not take personal responsibility for their own development and how well they translate new ideas and tools into their world.

Anyone who is not open to new ideas and ways of managing and leading people.

Anyone who wants to be spoon fed and not willing to apply their own critical thinking to translate this material to their own context. We drip feed the content in a sequence we have found least over-whelming and most helpful – but in the end you must apply and adapt it to your context.

Anyone looking for a quick fix or not willing to dedicate time to their own management and leadership development. Becoming an empowered leader will take time and effort – you need to apply the lessons and tools.

People expecting guaranteed results - we know what we teach works (because we’re doing it ourselves) but we can’t guarantee specific results from following our advice. I hate to break it to you, but no one can make that promise!

It might seem strange, us trying to talk you OUT of joining us in the Academy – but truly if the Academy is not the right fit then none of us benefit. We have a vested interest in your success (you won’t stick around long if we’re not helping, right?) – and that all starts by making sure the Academy is right for you before you join.

Frequently Asked Questions

So, you have questions? Let us try to answer those for you…

I am not yet a manager but keen to become one – is the Journey right for me?
Absolutely - the Modules in the Academy are relevant for all stages from becoming empowered, learning the essentials of the role, through to managing your time, conflict, budgets and change – the core competencies you need to manage confidently. In fact now is the perfect time for you to join us in the Academy - not only do we have training that will take you through each core competency, but you'll also be able to get support and advice from within the community too, to help you through your transition into management.
I consider myself a clinical leader but sure I want to be a manager – will this help me on that Journey?
Yes, it will. As a clinical leader you want to influence others to follow your lead. The Academy is as relevant to you as it is to a manager because you will get the tools and insights that will build your clarity, confidence and credibility to convince others to follow you.
Is all the content available straight away or drip fed?
Yep - you get exactly what you register for.. We regularly update and add new material too - so your content library will continue growing.
Can I get one on one support or mentoring?
Not only can you ask questions and get advice, support and feedback any time from within our community, but you can tee up private mentoring and coaching with any of our accredited facilitator matching your need to their areas of expertise, at their fee for service. You can also enrol in workshops on any of the modules (in fact many of you are probably already enrolled in these workshops!).
I am already an effective manager, what can the Academy offer me?
Assuming you want to keep growing as a leader, and expanding your influence and impact, and you want to keep progressing in your career, the Academy can support you make these next transitions. With each step up, we tend to slide down the competency and confidence slope. Each module applies regardless of where you are on your journey and challenges you to shift your perspective from where you are to where you need to be. A new manager will be focused on just learning what to do. An experienced manager will be more focused on how to do it – and an empowered leader will be focusing on how to build empowered people and systems to have it done – even when they are not there. And, if you are reaching the pinnacle of your expertise, then we invite you to take a transforming mindset and join us in interviews and activities that will build your profile and mentor others coming behind you!
Do I receive anything in the mail when I join?
Yes. You will receive your welcome and login details. And you will receive notices as new content is added. All the materials are online – so you can dip in and out as you feel like it.

If there’s anything at all that you’re not certain about, anything we haven’t made clear, any concerns or questions then please do contact us and we’ll help you out.
