Secrets to the 3 & 2
Secrets to the 3 & 2
Managing a team for the first time?
The truth is, you don’t need a 200-page manual or a year-long leadership programme. Neuroscience and research tell us that learning just three core skills, combined with two key behaviours, is enough to set new managers up for success.
In this week’s Tea Break Coach, we break down the “3 & 2” and why it works — all in under four minutes.
This simple formula sits at the heart of our new 100Brix training stack — or as Cerys Johnson, 🧠 Caroline Pankhurst, and I ended up naming it, the Brix6.
And our favourite science experiment of the year?
Can we deliver the full programme virtually, make it stick, and do it in just 4–6 hours?
The answer: Yup. (Highly technical term.)
We’re also heading into the studio at Moja in January to record the audiobook version of our short, punchy companion guide.
Our beta readers are currently reviewing Foundations in People Management – It’s Not Bloody Rocket Science, written with Sarah Wright and Laura Barker. Fingers crossed for more thumbs-up! 🤞
Six science-backed modules.
Delivered in six hours (or four, if you push us).
Brilliant leadership development for busy people — and a guaranteed productivity boost.
The ‘Long Pole’ Approach
Ever wondered what a “long pole” has to do with leading a team for the first time? In this week’s Tea Break Coach video, we introduce a simple but powerful metaphor that helps new managers understand where their real limits—and opportunities—lie. It’s one of those ideas we nearly renamed… but it stuck, because it works.
The Power of Skill & Will
Success is driven by the right balance of skill and will. Skill is your capability — the knowledge and competence to perform well. Watch the video to find out more.
