Being promoted to lead people you’ve previously worked alongside can be one of the trickier transitions into leadership.

Leading Mates @ Work explores what changes when you move from being one of the team to being responsible for leading it — particularly when the relationships around you haven’t changed overnight.

This practical session looks at navigating boundaries, expectations, accountability and communication without believing you suddenly need to become a completely different person.

You’ll explore how to maintain positive working relationships while becoming clearer about your role as a leader, manage the moments when friendship and responsibility collide, and build credibility through consistency.

Designed for new and emerging leaders, supervisors and anyone who has found themselves thinking, I was working beside them yesterday and now I’m supposed to manage them.
