Hi,
I’m thrilled to facilitate the Embark Leadership Development Program. As the founder of N-BAC LLC, author of The Art of Managing Up, and a seasoned leadership coach, I am passionate about equipping leaders with the tools and skills they need to lead effectively—whether managing up, across, or down.
Through my experience as a manager and corporate trainer, I've learned that leadership success requires a shift in mindset and the mastery of key skills in self-leadership, team leadership, and delivering results. This course is specifically designed for middle managers like you, and I believe it will transform the way you lead yourself and others, setting you up for long-term success in both your leadership journey and your career.
This is the course I wish existed when I first stepped into a leadership role. Now, I’m excited to present it to you and guide you through this transformative experience.
