- A review of what worked and what needs to change
One payment covers all three sessions. Dave arranges the two follow-ups with you.
Start with the situation.
- 1. Choose the work. Bring one situation you need to handle. Choose a single working session or three sessions over four weeks. Keep employee details anonymous.
- 2. Reserve your session. Use the calendar to choose a time and pay when online booking is available. Otherwise, contact Dave to arrange the next step.
- 3. Put the plan to work. Use the session and written follow-up to prepare your next conversation. ManagerForge can help you keep track of what happens afterward.
Before you get in touch
First-time managers, team leads, and founders with a specific management problem. Bring a situation you need to act on, such as giving difficult feedback, improving a recurring 1:1, or preparing a fair performance review.
Preparation around your question, a private 60-minute conversation with Dave, and a written next-step plan. The four-week manager reset includes three sessions with bounded written follow-up around one management problem.
A management working session is $250 USD. The four-week manager reset is $1,500 USD total for three 60-minute sessions, with one payment covering all three. Consulting is a one-time purchase, separate from software subscriptions. Sending an inquiry does not book a session or create a charge.
When the online calendar is available, choose a time and complete payment during booking. Cal.com handles scheduling and Stripe handles payment. Review the appointment and cancellation terms before confirming. For the reset, book the first session; Dave arranges the two included follow-ups with you. If online booking is unavailable, contact Dave to arrange the next step.
No. You can work with Dave whether or not you use ManagerForge. Consulting is a separate service, and a software subscription does not include sessions with Dave.
Consulting does not give Dave access to your private ManagerForge records. You choose what to share. Use anonymized examples in your initial inquiry and leave out employee names and confidential records.
