Best of Core Forum Webinar: Only Managers in the Building: Everything You
Wish You Knew Before Becoming a Manager

Date: Wednesday, March 26, 2025

All webinars are one hour in length and begin at 11 am Pacific, noon
Mountain, 1 pm Central, and 2 pm Eastern time.

Description:

You're a manager! Now, what? Transitioning from staff member to management,
even as an assistant, can be tough. Now you have to make decisions, learn
to say no, set policy, create culture, and find a way to create work life
balance for yourself and your staff. It's overwhelming. Don't just survive
your first few years of management find ways to thrive.

Come for a candid panel discussion of three managers ranging from
Supervisor to Deputy Director where they discuss the transition to
management, their struggles, failures, and successes. This session will
provide a candid peek behind the curtain of the struggles of being a
manager both as a new manager, and throughout management. We'll discuss
strategies that have helped us manage the transition, how we work with our
staff, and lessons we've learned from experience. There will be plenty of
time for audience questions.

Learning outcomes:

After attending this session, attendees will be able to:

   -

   identify and start the mindset and responsibility shift that must take
   place in order to be a successful manager.

   -

   compare and contrast management styles and strategies for success.

   while also developing their staff.
