A webinar series, not a lecture series

The jump to leadership isn't a promotion. It's a different job.

Each session unpacks what actually changes when you move from doing the work to owning the outcomes, decisions and people around it, field by field, situation by situation.

When "you're ready for more" doesn't come with instructions

Most people get told they're leadership material long before anyone explains what the role actually demands. This series exists to close that gap.

01

When you've been asked to lead your former team

The technical skills that got you noticed stop being the main job. Session two walks through what shifts on day one and what to expect from people who used to be equals.

02

When you're asked for a plan, not just an answer

Senior roles trade "solve this" for "decide where we're going." We look at how that reasoning is actually built, and where it tends to go wrong first.

03

When your calendar fills up with meetings you didn't choose

A recurring theme across fields: the transition changes what your time is for. We break down how leaders reasonably decide what deserves their attention.

How the series is structured

Four connected pieces, each addressing a different part of the transition.

Live sessions

Each webinar runs for around seventy minutes and focuses on one specific transition situation rather than leadership in the abstract.

Field-specific framing

What "senior" means differs across engineering, operations, finance and client-facing work. Examples are drawn from more than one field per session.

Structured Q&A

Time set aside at the end of every session for questions submitted in advance, grouped by theme rather than answered in order of arrival.

Reference notes

A written summary is shared after each session, covering the main frameworks discussed so you can return to them later.

A closer look at the room

Sessions are kept small enough that discussion stays specific rather than generic.

What tends to trip people up first

A few of the situations covered across the series.

Authority without a title change

Being expected to act senior before the job description catches up.

Giving feedback that lands

Moving from casual comments to feedback that people can actually act on.

Reading the org chart correctly

Understanding who actually needs to be in the loop, and when.

Letting go of the old job

Recognising which tasks need to be handed off, and to whom.

Handling disagreement upward

Pushing back on decisions from above without damaging the relationship.

Not sure which session fits where you are right now?
