Balancing your workload with managing people
How to find balance when you're managing team workload and have conflicting priorities
Becoming a line manager means you're often expected to lead a team while still doing your old day-to-day job. This can quickly create overwhelm, poor boundaries and a higher risk of burnout. That's why learning to balance workload and people responsibilities is so important. It's fundamental for your personal wellbeing and your professional growth.
In this module, Anise shows you how to protect time for what matters, prioritise effectively and delegate with confidence.
And in the resources section, you'll find a RAG template to help you spot when things are off balance, plus an infographic you can keep to hand to help decide whether to take a task on yourself, delegate or push back.

Setting boundaries for yourself and your team
Why boundaries matter and how to set them in the workplace
Boundaries aren’t about saying no to everything – they’re about creating clear expectations so you and your team can work in a way that’s healthy and sustainable. They also help others understand your limits and expectations, which in turn builds respect and strengthens your authority in the workplace.
In this module, Anise shares guidance on how to define and protect your own boundaries, support your team in setting their own and tips on clearly communicating boundaries across the wider business.
You'll also explore how boundaries can help increase self assurance within your team, supporting both their professional development and personal growth.
And in the resources section, you'll find a checklist you can take away to help you reflect on what boundary setting currently looks like for you and your team - and take small, practical steps to improve it.

Building confidence and authority as a manager
How to build confidence at work and develop your leadership skills
Workplace confidence doesn't mean having all the answers. It means trusting yourself to lead, listen and make decisions.
In this module, Anise will walk you through confidence building strategies to develop self assurance, overcome self doubt and trust in your own authority.
You'll also explore how to overcome negative self talk and inner dialogue that can hold you back. She shares how things as simple as preparing before important conversations, using confident body language such as steady eye contact and following through consistently can help you feel more in control at work.
In the resources section, you'll find a guide packed with tools and advice to help you feel confident, overcome self-doubt and grow into your own authentic way of leading.
