The half-day workshop

What your managers walk away with

Hours 1–2

Leadership presence & communicating with authority

Managers learn to carry authority in a room, give direction without micromanaging, and communicate decisions so their teams execute rather than second-guess. Every concept is applied to a real scenario they bring from their own team.

Hours 2–3

Managing up, across, and through difficult conversations

How to manage the relationship with senior leadership, influence peers without authority, and have the hard conversations most managers avoid until problems explode. Role-played live in the room with real feedback.

Hours 3–4

Decision clarity & execution rhythm

A simple operating framework every manager leaves with: how to prioritize under pressure, run meetings that move work forward, and build the weekly rhythm that makes their team predictable and high-performing.

Closing

30-Day commitment — applied immediately

Every manager ends with one specific, written behavioral commitment for the next 30 days — and a check-in structure so your HR team can track real application. This is how workshop impact doesn't evaporate by Monday morning.

PTC Lifts Program · Designed by Afia Frempong

Afia Frempong
"Nearly 60% of the professionals who went through the program were promoted. That's not a coincidence — that's what structured, practical leadership development actually produces."

Afia Frempong didn't attend a leadership program at PTC. She designed one from scratch — built for professionals who had the talent but not the tools to make their next move. The same methodology is what your managers will experience in this workshop.

She's led communications, people development, operations, and strategy inside global organizations where being unclear or unprepared had real consequences. That experience is what she brings into every room she facilitates.

Questions we hear before every proposal

Answered directly. No sales language.

Is this customized or is it generic off-the-shelf content? +

Every engagement starts with a pre-workshop needs assessment and a 30-minute scoping call. The content is built around your team's actual gaps, not a recycled deck. If your managers are in healthcare, the scenarios are healthcare. If they're in tech, we use tech examples. You review the agenda before we deliver anything.

How do I justify this to my CFO or VP? +

Use the calculator above — it does the work for you. For a team of 8 managers at $400K average total comp with 15% turnover, you're looking at over $1.4M in annual leadership gap cost. A $3,500 workshop that prevents even one departure pays for itself 170×. We can also provide a one-page ROI brief formatted for your budget conversation.

What if our managers don't engage or take it seriously? +

This workshop is designed for busy, skeptical professionals — not people who want a motivational talk. The content is immediately applicable, scenario-based, and treats your managers as experienced adults with real problems to solve. If after the scoping call we don't think it's the right fit for your team's culture, we'll tell you before you spend a dollar.

We already do annual training. What makes this different? +

Annual training is a line item. This is a behavioral intervention. The difference is in the design: pre-assessment, live application during the session, a written 30-day commitment per manager, and a follow-up structure your HR team can track. Most training evaporates by the following Monday because there's no accountability built in. This one has accountability built in.

Can we pilot with one team before expanding? +

Yes — and that's the recommended approach. Most organizations run one department first, collect the outcomes, and present internally to expand. The half-day format is designed to be low-risk and high-signal. You'll know within 48 hours of the session whether your managers found it valuable. We can discuss multi-team pricing on the proposal call.
