Engage your manager – Accelerate your career

Managing-up : Three golden rules to manage the most important relationship of your career

Description

1. ‘People don’t quit their jobs, they quit their Bosses’.

We’ve heard and seen this happening!

Why does this happen? Because we don’t develop a healthy and rewarding relationship with our manager.

Any relationship takes intention and effort. Yet, there is very little formal or informal training available about developing a relationship with your manager.

This course is an honest attempt to fill that gap. It is an answer to this question, ‘How do I manage my relationship with my Boss?’

2. About me

I have 19 years of corporate experience, including working with 10 diverse managers and managing at least 5 teams.

Soft skills, contrary to the name, are HARD to learn!

I was quick to observe this. Thus, I have made it my mission to train and coach aspiring individuals to develop career-crucial soft skills.

I too had my challenges with bosses. And one such relationship is noteworthy. I was reporting to a director for more than 5 years. There were times, when I felt miserable, ignored, and side-lined. On a few occasions, I argued but with my manager on the other side, I ended up feeling helpless. Despite this, I respected his managerial skills and business acumen.  So, I turned the searchlight on myself. I observed and learned from my peers who were in his good books. With time, I was able to get our relationship going.  I have shared details of this challenge and turnaround in one of the course chapters. 

In those three years, I learned a lot about succeeding in the corporate world. I have structured my learning with the proven professional best practices to create this course.

3. Your Mission

Your Mission, should you choose to accept it, is to strike a rewarding & enjoyable relationship with your manager.

Your first goal is to develop a game plan for this mission. The principles and techniques shared in this course will help you do that!

When you accept the mission and follow the game plan, the result is guaranteed. While you must walk the path yourself; I feel responsible for you and your progress. And so, I remain available to you beyond this course, as I have supported other students too.

4. Your future is calling you

Imagine yourself doing the following 90 days from now!

1. You have improved harmony and reduced friction with your manager

2. Your manager considers you as a highly dependable associate

3. Your manager is involved in your growth and supports you like a mentor

   Completing this 1-hour course is a big stride toward that bright future!

5. Course Overview

The course has 5 sections.

Across those sections, there are 17 lectures. On average, a lecture is longer than 3 minutes.

The lectures are designed with examples, case studies, video clips, and individual exercises that you must do to develop a game plan for your mission. Plus, there are three different quizzes to check what you have learned.

6. Do you have a narcissistic boss?

Sorry to learn that! I’ve NOT designed this course with ‘that’ kind of manager in mind; don’t want to set any wrong expectations with you. The Ideas in this course are aimed at turning a cold relationship into a warm one and even a good relationship into a great one.

If you are not sure about your manager, this course could be a good start.

7. Is the course updated?

The course was launched in June 2020.  Last updated November 2024.

I update the course based on direct student feedback and questions.

The course recently underwent re-recording and editing for better illustrations and visual experience for students. 

At any time, up-to-date content comes to you at no extra charge. Buy this course once, and you’ll have lifetime access to it and the Q&A section.

8. What if you have questions?

I understand that everyone has a different manager. It is natural to have questions as you discover the principles and techniques shared in the course. I strongly recommend that you ask any questions!

I offer full support, responding to questions you post within one working day.

This means you’ll never be stuck on a topic or concept. Additionally, with my guidance, through Q&A and even after course completion,  you can be confident in applying the techniques presented in the course.

9. Zero-risk deal!

You either end up energized and equipped to develop a rewarding relationship with your manager and potentially make an awesome career for yourself, OR

you try the course and simply get all your money back if you don’t like it…

That’s true – You can’t lose!

P.S.:

Of all the managers I worked with, I had the privilege of working with Mr.Harish Nayak for 5 years, in Capgemini! Those were amazing 5 years, filled with joint problem-solving, mentorship, debates, aligning, and winning together! It was one of the best learning and growing experiences for me! I offer this course to Harish and our time together!
