Management Trainings

All trainings and workshops are available via Zoom or in-person.

Designed specifically for independent garden centers and seasonal retail teams.

New Manager Training

(Includes a Leadership Assessment)

Many managers are promoted for operational excellence, not trained in leadership.

This program builds the foundation.

Participants learn to:

Understand their natural leadership style and growth path

Set clear, measurable expectations

Deliver feedback that improves performance

Motivate from the inside-out

Build cohesive, accountable teams

Practical. Applicable. Immediately useful in seasonal retail.

Mastering Difficult Conversations

An experiential workshop focused on real leadership moments.

Leaders learn how to:

Stay calm and grounded in high-stakes conversations

Deliver honest feedback without triggering defensiveness

Disagree without escalating conflict

Address performance issues clearly and constructively

Ideal for leaders who have been told they are “too nice” and those told they are “too direct" (hint: there's a 3rd way for all of us).

Deep Resiliency & Stress Management for Busy Leaders

An 8-week practice-based cohort focused on strengthening leadership capacity under pressure.

This is not a lecture series.

Participants actively practice:

Nervous system regulation

Cognitive reframing

Somatic leadership tools

Energy and stress management strategies

The result: leaders who remain steady, creative, and resourceful — even during Spring.
