When you hear the term "managing up," do you start groaning? Do you think you have to "play politics" to work with your manager? It is all about being the "favorite" employee, you wonder?

Well, time to stop groaning, and instead, it's time to start building a relationship with your manager.

Managing up isn't manipulation, and it isn't brown-nosing. Instead, it's about a relationship: building and nurturing a relationship with your manager.

This course was updated inJanuary 2024. There are 17 video lessons and 6 exercises.

This course will help you undo some of the wrong and old thinking you may have about working with your manager.

I'll also share strategies that strong leaders I've coached regularly use when working with their managers.

Your relationship with your manager is one of the most important relationships you have. This person delegates work to you, gives you feedback, and can help you get a promotion (or make it difficult to get one).

Hence, it's key you dedicate time to learning how to build and nurture a relationship with your manager.

This course will help you in your current role and future ones. I'll share information you will use throughout your entire career.

My POV comes from over 25 years of experience coaching founders, CEOs, CFOs, CTOs, and VPs. I've trained over 20K people worldwide, and that number doesn't include all of you, my Udemy students. I know what your manager wants you to do more and less of, and in this course, I'll share that with you.

I'm excited to work with you. After you finish the course, I'll add additional content quarterly and invite you to free monthly webinars with live coaching.
