GrowingSuccess: Management Training for New Managers
Beyond Training: A Coaching-Powered Program to Build Stronger, More Confident Managers.
Training alone isn’t enough—leaders need coaching to build lasting skills. GrowingSuccess combines structured learning with real coaching and accountability, ensuring managers apply what they learn and drive real behavioural change.
Why GrowingSuccess Is the Right Management Training for New Managers
GrowingSuccess is a coaching-powered management training program for new managers who need more than just theory.
Instead of one-off workshops that quickly fade, we combine structured learning with real coaching support to help first-level managers build repeatable routines, stronger leadership habits, and greater self-awareness.
The result? Managers who communicate more effectively, proactively solve problems, and drive better team outcomes — while easing the load on HR and senior leaders.
GrowingSuccess is more than training.
It creates confident, capable managers who lead with purpose and deliver visible results across their teams.
How GrowingSuccess Delivers Lasting Behaviour Change.
Our approach to management training for new managers is different.
Instead of one-off workshops that quickly fade, GrowingSuccess combines structured learning with real coaching support to help new leaders build repeatable habits and routines that stick.
Coach-Led, Not Trainer-Led
GrowingSuccess is delivered by experienced coaches who guide, challenge, and support real behaviour change — not just deliver content.
Routines Build Leaders

Meet Your Coach
I’m Christian Harper — an executive and performance coach with over 4,500 hours in the coaching seat, more than 300 hours of professional supervision, and a background in counselling, leadership development, and existential thinking.
I’ve spent over 25 years helping managers and leaders navigate complexity, shift behaviour, and develop their own authentic way of leading. My approach isn’t formulaic — it’s built on insight, accountability, and action.
I use evidence-based tools like the Life Styles Inventory™ and Myers-Briggs (MBTI®) — but they don’t define the work. You do. Coaching with me is about developing real clarity, finding your direction, and doing great work — at work.
I created MetaPeople to help leaders lead better, live better, and build teams that thrive through purpose, not pressure. That starts with knowing who you are and what you stand for.
Developing Managers, Preparing Leaders:
The 6-Step GrowingSuccess Program
The 6-step GrowingSuccess program is designed to strengthen management capability and prepare new managers for leadership success.
Each module moves participants from knowing to doing — building skills they can apply immediately in their roles while developing routines that make great leadership sustaina
Module 1 - GrowingAwareness
Participants explore self-awareness and accountability in action. They define success, clarify values, and assess strengths using the Action Matrix. Through reflection, they identify focus areas and learn how small improvements drive significant results.
Module 2 - GrowingYourself
Participants deepen their self-awareness, learning to build trust and manage emotions effectively. Using models like the Whole Person Concept, they explore behavioural drivers and develop greater empathy. The Growth Mindset and Locus of Control further strengthen their personal and professional growth.
Module 3 - GrowingCompetencies
This module introduces the key competencies for managerial excellence, including communication, planning, and performance management. Participants assess their skills, set development goals, and create action plans for growth. They build essential abilities such as giving feedback, managing conflict, goal setting, delegation, and time management.
Module 4 - GrowingTeams
This module explores the core dynamics of team management, helping participants set a clear vision and foster collaboration. Using the MetaPuzzle framework, they identify key success levers that shape team culture. Participants develop routines that build high-performing teams capable of delivering exceptional results.
Module 5 - GrowingIndividuals
This module equips participants with the skills to support individual team members while strengthening team performance. They learn three core coaching methodologies — GROW, Reframing, and Scaling — and apply tools like The MetaEquation and Chat Map to provide targeted coaching and feedback. By developing effective coaching techniques, participants create an environment where individuals thrive.
Module 6 - GrowingSuccess Review
This module serves as a capstone review, where participants reflect on their journey and present their unique management approach. They identify key routines and self-management strategies, demonstrating their growth as leaders. In a final workshop — online or in-person — they celebrate achievements and inspire peers with their success.
