Manager Cohort
The Manager Cohort is an exclusive group learning experience for nonprofit managers consisting of facilitated content and skills practice in a supportive, community-oriented environment. Managing has never been easy, and it’s not getting any easier in 2021! Did you know that the biggest factor in an organization’s long-term success is its front-line managers? And that 70% of employee engagement depends on the manager? Yet, most managers receive little to no training in how to – let alone effectively – manage employees. These statistics are staggering, and true!
It’s more important now than ever before to invest in manager training. The Manager Cohort is designed to help nonprofit managers learn and implement the skills they need to be successful as individuals as well as contribute to their organization’s success. In addition, participants will build a community of support with fellow managers that will last well beyond the end of the sessions.
Capacity is limited to 16 participants, and participants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis – see registration information below! If you would like more info, please email Olivia Swanson at Olivia@NewChapterCoach.com.

What former Manager Cohort members are saying:
“I use skills learned in the cohort almost daily.”
“This cohort definitely helped me grow comfortable with management and allowed major professional growth in how I act, think, and work with my coworkers, employees, interns, etc.”
“The Manager Cohort was a great experience and helped me feel more confident in my leadership skills. I walked away with tons of tips, and ideas to motivate and lead with confidence.”
Additionally, post-cohort surveys indicated:
100% of former participants would recommend participation in the cohort to other nonprofit managers.
70% of participants reported that they had “a lot” or “a great deal” of KNOWLEDGE regarding how to manage people effectively – a 50% increase from pre-cohort measures.
A 60% increase in participants reporting that their SKILL at effectively managing others was “above average”
