Karen Main
Hi. My name is Karen Main and I've devoted the past twenty years to studying the best practices of highly effective leaders. I want to help you become the most effective leader you can be!
I'm the owner of Innovations in Training, a training and consulting company specializing in leadership and team development.
I'm also the author of Pitfalls and Possibilities: A Leadership Fable. It's the story of two new managers who learn, along the way, what it means to truly lead a team.
The Moving into Leadership program is different: it's not a 1-shot webinar. It's a comprehensive program designed for individuals new to supervision. Over the years I've worked with hundreds of new supervisors and understand the core skills and approaches that are the bridge to your success. There's no fluff (well, maybe a few fun pieces) but instead practical, relevant, business-focused information to get you started in the right direction. In addition, I'm on hand to coach, support, and encourage you in your initial journey as a supervisor.
I hope you'll agree this comprehensive program is the right step for you as you move into leadership. I look forward to working with you!
