M-Power Managers Programme
In the Accounting Profession and particularly within the Audit training office environment the Manager role is an expected progression from Trainee if the individual wants to remain with the organisation.
Empowering managers for success in their role
-
Success as a manager relies on personal, individual and team success.
-
It is however not something that most individuals are equipped for during their training contracts.
-
To some it comes naturally but to others it brings a steep learning curve and often a sense of frustration and a lack of confidence in their own competence.

-
Help managers navigate the transition to manager/supervisor from the trainee role.
-
Address specific challenges and encourage helpful behaviours.
-
Equip managers with specific knowledge and skills to perform better in their roles.

Enable sharing of knowledge and best practice.
