So Now You’re A Manager
Next: March 26-27, 2020 in Atlanta, GA
This is not your average manager training.
WARNING: You might leave this training different than when you arrived.
SNYAM workshops are about preparing, enabling and boosting you to lead with empathy, vulnerability and confidence. Through experiential learning, you’ll learn to coach each other, share experiences, reclaim your own inner wisdom and leverage what you already know. You’ll leave with a set of tools to put your new knowledge into practice immediately.
The 12th cohort will take place on Thursday, March 26 – Friday, March 27, 2020 at Three Five Two in Atlanta, GA.
The 13th cohort will take place on Thursday, June 25 – Friday, June 26, 2020 at Two Sigma Ventures in NYC.

Training with Plucky
Here’s What Our Attendees Have to Say
This is an amazing bootcamp for any new manager to learn the fundamentals of leadership. This is the REAL human stuff, not the good-on-paper stuff you read about in management books that you’ll never actually implement.
Danielle Harder / Director of Team, Yellow Pencil
If your idea of management training is being bored to tears in a hotel ballroom with a bunch of suits, have I got good news for you: SNYAM is nothing like that! Imagine spending two days with a group of people who all share a common interest (being a better manager!) and truly want to get better. You’ll leave this event with helpful tools and frameworks for how to approach management.
Cynthia McGillis / Director of Revenue Operations, Industry Dive
Jen is so talented at understanding the challenges managers face and creating an environment where those challenges can be discussed and collective solutions formed.
Rama Poola / CEO, SkyHi
SYNYAM provided a fantastic chance to share, discuss, and learn from people that are new to management. The two days were an invigorating experience that had me energized to get back to my team.
Dan Ubila / Manager, VTS
Best professional development experience that I’ve had in a long time. It was wonderful to connect with other managers encountering the same issues I am and to be able to learn from one another.
Michelle Wilczynski / Manager, Firefly Partners
SNYAM filled a gap between the HR resources, mentor anecdotes, and personal experiences to help me define my philosophy on managing humans in an actionable way.
Krissy Kingwood / Community Operations Manager, Vox Media
