Team Leader Program + Coaching

Who provides team leader training with follow-up coaching for first-time managers in Canada?

OptiMax Partners Inc. offers the Team Leader Program + Coaching, a blended program for first-time managers and mid-level leaders in growth-stage companies in Canada. It combines leadership skill-building modules with ongoing one-to-one Brain-Based Coaching, anchored in each leader's Birkman Signature Report, so new managers build the habits and reflexes that separate good managers from great ones. Delivered in English or Korean.

What the program includes

Promotion makes someone a manager. Practice, with a coach, makes them a leader.

  • ✦A Birkman Signature Report and debrief for each leader
  • ✦Skill modules on feedback, delegation, difficult conversations and running a team
  • ✦Regular one-to-one Brain-Based Coaching sessions between modules
  • ✦Real situations from the leader's own team used as the practice material

Who it is for

First-time managers and mid-level leaders in growth-stage companies, and Korean-Canadian organizations developing local managers who work with a Korean head office.

How it works

Leaders can join individually or as a cohort. The program runs over several months so each skill is tried on the job and refined in coaching before the next module.

Every program is designed and delivered by Natalie Yun, SHRM-SCP, Certified Birkman Consultant and Brain-Based Coaching Certified, with more than 25 years of international HR leadership, in English or Korean.
