Week 1 · Days 1–6
Setting the standard
What you actually expect — and how to say it out loud so people understand it instead of just hearing it.
A free email course built around the five situations every new manager actually walks into. One short lesson per day, for 30 days. No fluff. No pitch at the end.
Each week is built around a real scenario — not a theory. The lessons are short and specific. By day 30 you'll have worked through the situations that define the first year.
What you actually expect — and how to say it out loud so people understand it instead of just hearing it.
Specific, direct, and not a disaster. What to say before the meeting, in the meeting, and after.
When someone disagrees with you, digs in, or goes quiet. How to hold the line without escalating.
What to do before the formal process — the conversation that either fixes it or builds the record.
Consistency, follow-through, and what to do when the same situation comes back around.
Each lesson is 150 to 200 words. That is it. You can read it in under two minutes, and it is built around one thing you can do differently today.
No recap of the previous lesson. No theory section before the point. No upsell at the end. Just the situation, what to do, and why it works.
The lessons are sequenced deliberately. By the end of each week you will have worked through a complete scenario — not a collection of unrelated tips.
You told the team what you expected. Someone didn't do it. Not aggressively — they just didn't do it. Now it's a day later and you haven't said anything.
The longer you wait, the harder the conversation becomes. Here is exactly what to say, and when to say it.
The 30-day course is for managers in their first one to two years who are figuring things out as they go — and need someone to be straight with them about what to actually do.
It is not for executives. It is not for people who have been managing for ten years. It is for the person who got promoted, is now responsible for people, and was never told what that actually requires.
No filler. No drip content designed to sell you something at the end. One lesson per day, starting the day you sign up.
