How does it work?

Nothing worth knowing comes at the push of a button, no matter how hard you try to code that magical button – you can expect learning new communication techniques to take time and practice, too. Managing Your Manager is designed for you to complete one lesson per day. This allows each concept to fully sink in and be understood before you move on to the next.

A lot of online courses are incredibly long – not ours. You’re able to move faster than one lesson per day if you’d like, but going slow and steady is the name of the game. One per day also makes it very easy to fit into your busy schedule.

As for the workbook, the assignments are designed to give you real-life practice for each lesson so you learn deeper, faster, and truly see improvements every day.

There were a lot of useful tips on how to be more practiced as an employee, and understand your manager as an employee and team member, as well as the network that they're a part of. I particularly liked the tips on types of managers and learning their style.

I wasn't sure I'd really needed this course, but in the end I'm glad I took it. I really liked the lesson about finding your manager's communication style. It helped me communicate better with my manager, which has made work a lot more enjoyable.

This is one of those courses where the information seems like you should already know it, but when you go through the course, you find there are so many more things you can do to improve your relationship with your manager, and even those higher up. I found it really helpful.

Most people could brush up on this skill. However, this course was written for those in the STEM industries. You’re good at what you do, but a miscommunication has knocked you back into your squeaky office chair more than once.

When it’s not only about clearly saying what you need to say to those above you, but also getting clear instructions and feedback in return, it’s necessary to be able to empathize and understand each other.

If you want to effectively communicate at work, recieve positive reviews, and grow your potential – this course is for you.

In less than two weeks, you’ll acquire the skills through both online and hands-on lessons from this course to help you with any and all of the following:

Reducing implied expectations so you always know what’s expected of you.

I enjoyed this course. The workbook was helpful, too. I like how easy it was to keep all of my thoughts and research in one place, and how it helped me organize the hierarchy and network of people at work.
