Short answers about the weekly email.
What is MAAMA?
MAAMA stands for Manager as a Mentor Accelerator. It is the manager edition of Move the Moment: a way to choose the move a moment needs, instead of falling into a reflex, when a team member is stuck or the pressure is on.
What do I get?
One email a week. Each issue takes a real management moment, names the reflex it triggers, shows a better move and gives you the exact words to say.
Who is it for?
Managers working on their own conversations, and the people who develop managers. New to managing or experienced: there is no experience-length requirement. It is written in English and open to readers worldwide.
Is it free?
Yes, the weekly email is free.
How do I unsubscribe?
Every email carries an unsubscribe link.
Does being a mentor mean always asking questions?
No. Mentoring sits alongside the responsibilities of management, not in place of them. Some moments call for a question, others for a clear instruction.
