Bespoke engineering management training, delivered on-site.

I work with engineering organisations to train their managers in person, building stronger leaders, more consistent practices, and teams that actually deliver.

// 01 · Who this is for

Who this is for

This isn't for individual contributors or solo managers. It's built for engineering leaders training a group of managers together, in one go.

01

You lead an engineering organisation with multiple managers

And you want them trained together, to a consistent standard, in one go. Not a fragmented mix of online courses, conference talks and word of mouth.

02

Your managers were promoted without formal training

They're smart, capable and well-meaning. But the gaps show. Inconsistent 1:1s, avoided performance conversations, hiring that drifts from the bar. You want to close those gaps deliberately.

03

You want a trainer who's actually managed engineers at scale

Not a generic corporate trainer who's never shipped code. Not a leadership coach two layers removed from the work. Someone who's been in the room your managers are in.

// 02 · What I deliver

Outcomes, not slide decks.

Every engagement is tailored to your team. The themes opposite are the ones I'm asked for most often.

Sessions are highly interactive. Your managers leave with frameworks they can apply on Monday morning, not slide decks they'll forget by Friday.
Running effective 1:1s Performance management Hiring and interviewing Delivery and prioritisation Managing senior ICs Building healthy team culture Difficult conversations Coaching and growth plans

The exact mix is built around your team in scoping conversations before the engagement.

// 03 · Formats

Three formats

Pick the shape that fits how much of your managers' calendar you can clear, and how deep you want to go. Each is bespoke from there.

01

Half-day workshop

A focused deep-dive on a single topic. Best for teams who want to address one specific challenge, at high intensity.

3.5 hours · single topic Up to 25 managers
03

Multi-day programme

Sustained development across a quarter. A series of sessions with deliberate spacing, real-world practice between sessions, and follow-up support. For organisations serious about lifting the whole management bar.

3–6 days over a quarter Cohort-based

Pricing is bespoke to scope and group size. We'll quote after a 30-minute scoping call so you get a number that reflects your engagement, not a list price.

Common questions

UK and Europe as standard. Further afield is considered case-by-case; get in touch and we'll see if it works.
Typically 6–8 weeks. Less is sometimes possible for half-day sessions. Multi-day programmes usually require longer to scope and tailor properly.
Yes. Every engagement is. The base material is built from the same frameworks taught in EM Accelerator, but the emphasis, examples and scenarios are shaped around the specific situation your team is in.
Yes, optional. Ongoing access via async channels, follow-up sessions, or a recurring programme of office hours for your managers, quoted alongside the engagement itself.

Train your managers together, in person, by someone who's done the job.
