Feel Like You’re Managing Alone? You’re Not.

A lot of managers quietly feel the same things:

  • “I’ve been promoted, but I don’t know what I’m doing with the people stuff.”
  • “I can do the work, it’s the conversations that stress me out.”
  • “I don’t want to be too soft… or too harsh.”
  • “I wish I had someone to sanity-check what to say.”

That’s exactly what The Manager’s Academy is for.

In The Manager’s Academy, you’ll learn what to say and what to do in real situations - difficult conversations, boundaries, performance, and conflict , with support you can use immediately.

What Makes The Manager's Academy Different?

I’m not here to teach you management theory from textbooks. After 30+ years managing teams (and making every mistake in the book), I know exactly what keeps you awake in the early hours.

Because you’re not dealing with neat case studies, you’re dealing with:

  • That employee who bursts into tears every time you give feedback
  • The office drama-maker who’s poisoning your culture
  • The experienced person who says, “That’s not how we do things” to every suggestion
  • The once-star performer who’s now dragging everyone down
  • Those productivity-killing personality clashes you don’t know how to handle

That’s what we work through  – with practical support you can use immediately.

What you get each month

The Academy keeps it simple:

  • Monthly live training: practical support on one people-management theme
  • Monthly live support session: bring your real situation and get help with what to say/do next
  • Templates + toolkits: scripts, checklists and resources you can use immediately
  • Community support: a place to ask, share wins, and realise it’s not just you

£37/month. Cancel anytime.

Who The Manager’s Academy Is Really For

A team leader promoted for being good at your job – not because you had management training

A manager in a busy office juggling your workload and your team

In HR/admin, and asked to step up into leadership with little guidance

Managing people for the first time and wondering if you’re doing it right

This is especially for you if:

✅ You care about your team but feel unsure how to handle tricky situations

✅ You’ve Googled “how to manage people” more times than you’d like
✅ You’re tired of pretending you’ve got it all figured out

What Members Say

"I had the opportunity to participate in the" Managing a Virtual Team" session presented by Nicola. Nicola provided us with an enriching online course during the Covid-19 pandemic, In order to help people to adapt their new routine working from home, which right away was a very generous atitude of her. The content of the webinar and the material she had shared with us was very useful and her leading of the programme was striking.

I've learnt much from Nicola through a series of engagements, all of which were delivered in a fun but knowledgeable and friendly way. Highly recommended! "
