From accidental manager to confident leader: a workshop with Fi Craig
BCI Workshop
Accidental managers are usually first-time people managers who’ve been thrown in at the deep end – still doing their old job while figuring out how to manage people through trial and error.
If someone on your team has just stepped into management, they’re probably juggling people and projects, wearing two hats, and figuring it out as they go. That’s exactly why this Accidental Managers half-day workshop exists.
Join Fi Craig to feel confident leading people, define your own version of good management, and gain practical frameworks to guide you as you figure the rest out. Gain confidence and simple tools to start leading a team effectively straight away.
This session is suitable for first-line managers (typically with 1–3 direct reports) or those with little or no formal management training. You may be working in an SME (up to 200 people) with or without formal people processes, and you’re likely still contributing to your original role. It would also be ideal for early-career professionals stepping into management for the first time.
