Module 1
Why You Were Promoted Into a Job Nobody Prepared You For
Identifying the behaviours keeping you in the doer role, and making a deliberate plan to step into the leader role.
2. The Technical Leader's Edge
You were promoted because you were the best at the technical work. Nobody prepared you for what came next.
Most technical leaders are still doing the expert's job after they've been given the leader's title. This one-day programme changes that, with frameworks built from 36 years in real field conditions, not a business school.
One day. You will leave with a leadership identity statement, a delegation plan, and one hard conversation mapped out and ready to have. Built entirely from real field experience, nothing borrowed, nothing generic.

2. The Technical Leader's Edge
Module 1: Why You Were Promoted Into a Job Nobody Prepared You For
The first leadership challenge is not learning a framework. It is accepting that the job has changed. What made you exceptional as a technical professional will not be enough when your results now depend on other people.
