For new and middle managers
Management Training for New Managers
You were promoted for being great at your job. Nobody taught you how to manage people. I help new and middle managers go from burned out to builder.
Sound familiar?
Signs of micromanaging you may not see in yourself
Do you hit send, then open it again to fix one more thing?
Do all your messages lead with "need it ASAP"?
Do you redo the work yourself because explaining it takes longer?
You think you have to check everything, answer every message and work later than your team to prove you belong. That is how burnout at work starts.

What the people I managed say about my leadership
"I can honestly say she was one of the best managers and mentors I've had throughout my career… she entrusted me with leading and serving as the primary point of contact for the Biannual Review and Challenge Meeting across multiple lines of business. That opportunity gave me invaluable experience presenting to senior leadership, coordinating across teams, and taking ownership of a highly visible initiative."
James
Former direct report
"Twana was my first manager in my professional career, and she always took the time to sit with me and understand my goals so she could assist me in any way possible. She corrected me with grace and was intentional about acknowledging the things I was doing well."
Patience
Former direct report
"Twana is so knowledgeable and worked hard at being supportive whether it be providing guidance with respect to my duties or the trajectory of my career. I can honestly say that I wish that more managers could be like her, as she was always fair and professional."
Gwendolyn
Former direct report
"Twana was an invaluable mentor to me during a challenging period in my career… She helped me navigate difficult workplace situations, approach challenges from a different perspective, and recognize the importance of advocating for myself while maintaining professionalism."
