Manager Training Courses and Coaching
We challenge managers to step out of the day-to-day and level up their leadership. Because great managers get things done, but great leaders make a difference.

Managing people
has become more complex.

It’s hardly surprising, the way we do business is more complex; hybrid teams, AI Tools, global interdependencies, supporting wellbeing, not to mention the psychological contract between an organisation and its people has significantly changed.

Today’s managers are juggling more uncertainty, faster change and higher expectations than ever before.
”Old school” manager training sessions just aren’t cutting it anymore.

“How do you develop managers
who not only survive but thrive in the chaos?”

It takes more than “Just” Skills
Coaching develops the mindset, skills & belief to lead with confidence.

At Marmalade we don’t just teach skills.

Why? Because your Managers need the mindset, tools, behaviours AND confidence to lead in a complex high-expectation environment.

We’ve been offering coaching (the kind historically only reserved for CEO’s) to leaders at all levels, for a lot of the usual high profile organisations suspects.

We know what works, we combine deep expertise, some humour and a healthy dose of straight-talking honesty to transform how your managers lead.

“Transformation doesn’t come from just learning what to do, it comes from having the self belief that you CAN do it, and the confidence and support while you do it.”

At Marmalade, we partner with organisations to create long-term, behaviour-led change. Our approach builds the belief, habits and leadership presence that elevate managers—and the people they lead.

Our approach to management coaching is straightforward:

01
GET IT

Clarity comes first. We help leaders understand exactly what’s expected of them— and how they can bring that to life in their teams.

02
OWN IT

Once there’s clarity, we support leaders to take ownership. This means aligning their behaviours, removing barriers, and holding themselves to account.

03
SHAPE IT

Growth takes practice. We provide the tools and space to experiment, learn, and embed new ways of working in a safe, supported environment.

04
BELIEVE IT

Lasting change is led from the top. We coach senior leaders to role model the behaviours they want to see across the business. If this sounds like your people, we have created a series of options to make learning fast, relevant & practical.

Learning That Fits Real Life

blocks-image-3 (Demo)
One of the biggest barriers to learning is time.

If your people struggle to find time for development — you’re not alone. That’s why we offer flexible, practical learning formats designed to make progress possible, even on busy days. 

Online Webinars

Big ideas. Practical tools. Delivered anywhere.

Our live webinars are designed for impact. We focus on:

  • 3 key ideas
  • 3 take-away tools
  • A chance for self-reflection

Engaging, interactive, on demand and far from ordinary — they’re ideal for covering essential topics or giving teams a quick, meaningful learning boost.

Social Learning

Learning that sticks (and spreads).

We believe learning is most powerful when shared.
Through curated articles, podcasts, talks and peer forums, we create ongoing conversations that connect people, spark new ideas and sustain development.

Motivating, practical and memorable — these sessions are often talked about long after they finish.

  • Peer connection
  • Curated learning content
  • Encouragement and idea sharing

Live Workshops

Energising. Engaging. Built for connection.

Our half and full-day workshops create space for leaders to step back, share experiences and challenge themselves — all guided by amazing coach facilitators.

Motivating, practical and memorable — these sessions are often talked about long after they finish.

Learning Nudges

From learning to doing.

The real challenge? Bringing learning back to the day job.

Our creative nudges make this easy. Connected to our webinars, they turn ideas into simple exercises managers can use with their teams — making learning practical and visible where it matters most.

  • Simple team-based exercises
  • Supports knowledge transfer
  • Keeps learning alive in the workplace
At Marmalade, we believe learning isn’t about what you know — it’s about what you do with it.

Leadership isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither are our programmes. We support managers at all stages of their leadership journey.
01.

For those new to managing people — or about to take the leap — we build the mindset, confidence and foundations they need to lead others, not just do the work.

02.

Growing Managers

Developing with the business.

These are the managers already in role, ready to evolve. Whether it’s handling more complexity or responding to change, we help them sharpen their skills and stretch into what’s next.

03.

Pivoting Managers

Adapting to lead differently.

Sometimes a new challenge needs a new approach. We support managers shifting mindset, developing new behaviours, or stepping up to a different kind of leadership.
