Say it early
Feedback saved for a review has already cost you.
Why the promotion felt like a demotion
The work you were good at is now something you're supposed to hand to someone slower.
How we work
Prepare, practice, debrief
Management is a different job with different skills, and most people receive no training before being handed a team. The result is a competent specialist improvising at something genuinely difficult.
The skills are learnable and specific: running a real one-on-one, giving feedback within days rather than months, delegating with context, and saying difficult things plainly and kindly.
Rehearsal is what makes those stick. Saying the hard sentence out loud to a coach first, including the response you fear, changes how the real conversation goes more than any framework does.
Our principles

Their agenda first
A one-on-one that's your status update isn't one.
HR and legal own the law
We prepare you. We don't advise on employment law.
