Turn Superstar Managers into Supercharged Leaders this Summer Launching the Summer 2023 Transition Development Programme

Is your team in need of a catalyst for change to maximize your competitive advantage - and your bottom line?

Have you got a superstar in your team who needs help realising their potential?

Are you ready for more responsibility, but need the supercharged toolkit to deliver operational excellence at the next level?

Our Transition Development Programme can help!
Delegates learn how to transition from manager to leader, deliver operational excellence and competitive advantage, and lead through constant change, emerging from the programme with the ability to positively impact the bottom line of any business.
Internal development underpins the business ethos of promotion from within and effective retention will help protect you from recruitment uncertainty and cost.
If you're looking not just to retain staff, but engage, inspire, and build a team future fit, book your plance in our open-to-all Transition Development Programme kicking off in July 2023. Register interest via the form below, or email Lynda@purplestory.co.uk to find out more.

My mind was blown! Maybe it'll give you the confidence to know that you have earned your spot, or your chance to step up. As course mates we formed a bond that continued after the programme, and we've all stayed in touch since.

The modules covered helped me understand the sort of leader I was, wanted to be, and how I could benefit my team. Would I recommend this course to anyone? Oh yes!
