Event Details

Virtual
Thursday, March 5
7 - 8 PM ET

Stepping into people leadership while balancing graduate school and a full-time role requires practical skills, not theory.

In this 60-minute interactive session moderated by Tiffany Tate, CEO & Founder of Career Maven Consulting, participants will learn four essential management habits that help teams feel supported, clear, and productive: setting expectations, running effective 1:1s, delivering kind-but-direct feedback, and delegating work without creating confusion or rework.

Designed for working professionals navigating real organizational dynamics, this session invites participants to move from theory to action. Attendees will leave with practical scripts, tools, and a repeatable approach they can apply immediately in their workplace.

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

  • Set clear goals and weekly priorities aligned with team and organizational expectations

  • Lead focused, effective 1:1 conversations that move work and relationships forward

  • Begin delivering feedback that is both supportive and direct

  • Delegate work with clarity to improve accountability and reduce rework

  • Apply the Decide & Do Good Workâ„¢ Framework to everyday management and collaboration challenges
