Here’s an outline of how the program works.  While we have several coaches and trainers involved in the program, our lead instructor Anthony Fasano, P.E. has not only helped thousands of engineers through his work as an engineering career coach, but he has been an effective engineering manager himself, so he knows what it takes…

For Individuals:

1. Once registered, enrollees receive a welcome message that will provide a schedule of the skill building sessions (with PDHs) or a date of when the schedule will be provided.
2. On the day the session starts, there will be a short orientation call that reviews the session schedule, the coaches, and the technical tools of the program (i.e. webinar system, Teachable, etc).
3. Following the orientation, enrollees are given access to Teachable where they can access the workshop.
4. Over the five weeks, students are given 5 live one-hour skill building sessions on the following topics: effective communication, networking/building relationships, building expertise/public speaking, productivity/billability, and leadership. With each session they receive assignments to help them practice the strategies and build the skills discussed. On-demand enrollees can access all the sessions and start anytime at their own pace.
5. They’ll spend the remaining two and half weeks completing the assignments and creating a plan for implementing these new habits long-term.
6. Enrollees may attend a group coaching call (schedule TBA).
7. Upon completion of their assignments, each enrollee will receive a letter of completion, which can be sent directly to their supervisor if desired.  This is recommended to provide maximum accountability. Should they require PDH credits, they will have to complete the session evaluations for all skill-building sessions as required by the PDH provider.

For Project Teams (Teams must be enrolled by a firm):

1. Teams of 4 to 5 engineering professionals (not limited to engineers) are enrolled by their companies.
2. Each team is assigned an engineering management/business project challenge, which is created by their firm.
3. On the day the session starts, there will be a short orientation call that reviews the session schedule, the coaches, and the technical tools of the program (i.e. webinar system, forum, etc).
4. Following the orientation, enrollees are given access to Teachable where they can access the workshop.
5. Over the five weeks, students are given 5 live one-hour sessions (with PDHs) on the following topics: effective communication, networking/building relationships, building expertise/public speaking, productivity/billability, and leadership. Using the strategies from these sessions and the collaboration tools, they begin to brainstorm and craft solutions to their challenges.
6. During the fourth and fifth weeks, the teams build their presentations and have access to our coaches through the forum and through one group coaching call.
7. Upon completion of the five weeks, the teams present their solutions to our coaches, forcing all the enrollees to present. Our coaches provide feedback, guidance, and recommendations for improving the presentations/solutions.
8. The enrollees then use the feedback to improve their solutions and then present the solutions to their companies. The companies may or may not utilize the actual solution, but either way their professionals have now developed the confidence and skills they need to grow into successful engineering managers.
