New manager support

Work through the management situation you have now.

You can be good at the work and still need help leading the people who do it. Bring one situation to Dave, prepare the conversation and leave with a written next-step plan.

Start with the job in front of you.

The starting advice is free and needs no account. Pick your situation to read it before deciding on a session.

Work on one management problem over four weeks. Three private sessions with Dave give you time to try the plan with your team, discuss what happened, and adjust what you do next.

  • Three 60-minute working sessions focused on one agreed problem
  • Preparation and a written next-step plan after each session
  • Two between-session email check-ins during the four weeks
  • A final review of what worked and what to continue
Arrange the four-week reset

One-time consulting fees. Software is optional and priced separately. An inquiry does not reserve a time or charge you. Review the scope and appointment terms before paying.

The four-week reset

Try the plan. Bring back what happened.

$1,500 USD covers three 60-minute sessions, preparation, a written plan after each session, and two email check-ins between sessions during the four weeks. The work stays focused on one agreed management problem.

  1. Week 1

    Understand the situation

    Session 1: agree on the management change, prepare the next conversation, and leave with a written plan.

  2. Week 2

    Try it and adjust

    Put the plan into practice, then use session 2 to work through what happened. Dave updates the written plan.

  3. Week 3

    Keep the change moving

    Try the revised approach at work. Use a between-session email check-in to raise a question about the agreed problem.

  4. Week 4

    Make the next month clearer

    Session 3: review the evidence, adjust the approach, and leave with a written plan for what to continue.

Illustrative sequence, not open appointment slots. Agree actual dates with Dave. Three separate $250 sessions total $750; choose those for standalone conversations. The reset adds a four-week engagement with preparation, revised plans and between-session support. It does not include unlimited email, emergency availability or a software subscription.

A plan, not a requirement to buy software.

Use the plan in your current notes, or try ManagerForge free for one relationship. Sessions and software are separate purchases. See a fictional written plan and read Dave's background before choosing.
