Training and Events

We train thousands of people each year, all over the world, on how to improve their management, communication, interviewing and executive skills. We have options for individuals and organizations, in person and remote learning, reading, video and audio, at all levels of your budget!

If you’re missing a skill you wish you had, one that would help you in your career today or in the future, check out what we have to offer!

Be a more effective manager by learning what your two main responsibilities are and how to achieve them! The models we cover - One-On-Ones, Feedback, Coaching and Delegation - will help you achieve results while retaining your employees. Better yet, they’re PROVEN to work!

Communication is what the listener does! The way we communicate makes perfect sense - to us - but not to roughly 75% of the people with whom we work. To be your most effective, you need to communicate in a way that makes sense to the other person. And we’ll teach you how!

Hiring is the most important strategic activity that individual managers engage in for the long term benefit of their organization. Prepare yourself and your team to interview by learning a proven process, guaranteed for success, from start to finish!

Remote managing is harder. Distance erodes trust. Culture frays. We provide specific actionable guidance on how to deliver results and retention, remotely. We can teach you how to increase communication to avoid the erosion of trust.

There's a big gap between being a front line manager and an executive. From managing managers, to becoming part of "Team One", using executive systems, and the additional communications required. Leading an organization with multiple levels is a lot different than being on the front lines. This training will help you close the gap.

Join us for our annual 2-day leadership event, packed with networking opportunities and engaging sessions. You’ll hear from top leaders and executives in the Manager Tools community who are working in diverse industries.

Becoming an executive is an important and difficult jump in one's career. Build your skills by getting access to the right topics, from the right people, right now! With a 2-year license to recordings of top executives in the Manager Tools community as they share their secrets for success!

Save your organization time and money by delivering the Manager Tools content you know and love, yourself! We will equip your in-house trainers with the skills necessary to deliver the Effective Manager, Effective Communicator and Effective Hiring Manager content to your workforce. And we will license your organization to deliver these tools internally on an as needed basis.

Sometimes issues are a bit more nuanced, and struggles are specific to the team or situation. If your team is struggling with a unique set of challenges that doesn't seem to be covered in our standard Manager Tools training offerings you may want to have us design and deliver a customized training event for your team or organization.

Looking for an experienced Keynote Speaker who can share guidance, motivate your audience and cause people to take action? That’s what we do! Mark Horstman, Co-Founder of Manager Tools, will deliver your next keynote on a topic that will resonate with your group and is in line with your event and its goals.

Results growth and leader development are an executive's main responsibilities. Manager Tools and our co-founder, Mark Horstman, will help you to understand how to achieve these responsibilities by focussing on The Executive Trinity: Strategy, Operations and People.
