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.
