Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

My struggle mainly revolved in effective communication with my team..and honesty with myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

I enjoyed being listened to and understood. She was always on time and very present in our conversations. I never felt judged which allowed me to be open and honest and therefore get the most out of my time with Wendy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

I'm not really sure that there is anything that I disliked. Honestly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NewLevelWork:

Nobody is perfect, and even if you are a great leader, there are always challenges that we are faced with and room for growth. Join the conversation with an open mind, challenge yourself and put in the work. I guarantee that if you do, your takeaways will be far greater than you ever expected. Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

I recognized that with my team I need to "catch them doing something right." We are all moving so fast, that it's so easy to just point out what is wrong so it can be fixed at the moment. It is so very important to make sure that your team is aware of how valuable they are and that there amazing hard work is not going unnoticed. I have become more aware of how asking "what do you think of..." "how does that sound..." etc allows for a more fluid and inclusive conversation with my team. I have become a more present, active listener when talking to my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

BetterManager worked with me for a few months with professional coaching. Although I've been a manager for over 20 years, this was the first opportunity for coaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

My coach, Jim Coyle, was outstanding. Never pushy, always listening, and providing guided feedback, always keeping me progressing towards reflection and improvement. The time flew by and I found myself thinking and implementing our ideas after the sessions almost immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

I can't think of a thing I didn't like. At one point, Jim started discussing team-oriented exercises, and I confessed that I thought they were hokey and often a waste of time. He immediately backed off, and eventually we found a different path to the same results that felt more aligned with my management style. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NewLevelWork:

Two thumbs up! Would definitely recommend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

This was less about specific problems and more about a tune-up when the opportunity presented itself. The one aspect where we spent time was on being a stronger advocate for myself and my team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

BetterManager has been a key part of how Whistle enables its managers to grow into better managers. BetterManager helps our team to see things from other perspectives, to communicate more effectively and to feel supported and heard as managers as we navigate the challenges of managing and supporting our teams laterally, above and below us. They are a non-partisan partner that helps EVERY manager in Whistle to be the best manager they can be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

BetterManager provides a large treasure chest of classes & coaching options to provide the "right support at the right time." I also like that BetterManager doesn't candy-coat feedback and helps the managers get the feedback they need and to work on it. Most importantly, BetterManager treats the person, understanding the business issues that the associate is dealing with in context of the associate's, aspiration, skills sets and whatever else is going on in that person's world. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

Can't think of anything off the top of my head. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NewLevelWork:

We had success in providing BetterManager support to each manager as they were promoted as a perk and a support system as they transitioned to more complex and demanding work than they experienced in the past. It has increased the success rate of our managers exponentially. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

BetterManager has been a partner in a difficult turnaround in an environment that was different than I experienced in the past. BetterManager helped me see things from an alternative point of view. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

Maddisen was assigned me as a coach, can't imagine a better match in terms of background, where i'd like to be professionally vs her career path. I felt connected personally and professionally which helped me to invest even more in the coaching process

This process helped me to (re)identify my values, leadership skills and my style as well as how i can take these a step further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

Easily digestable and actionable material (before and after each session) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing about BetterManager - I wish i had more sessions:) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- Dedicate time to go through the activities

- Come prepared to the sessions, make the most out of it, time flies when you are with your coach

- There is definitely something you'll benefit by having a Better Manager coach regardless of your title/experience. Don't think twice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

- Strong understanding of my values, leadership skills and my leadership style

- Changed my perspective on how to navigate ambiguity

I was looking for strategies to better manage my team of direct reports and how best to manage up to senior leaders, as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

My coach - Wendy Hanson - is great, very encouraging and I love the use of the open ended questions to get to the right answer or approach! She

never told me what to think or how to solve a problem, but skillfully guided me to my own conclusions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

I have no complaints! I would recommend BetterManager to my peers and colleagues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering NewLevelWork:

Be vocal about which areas you'd like to investigate and improve. Determine goals early in the coaching and help guide the conversation to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

I'm more patient, calm and focused in my work. I have developed useful strategies to better manage my team and communicate w/senior management. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

As a first-time manager, my coach helped me understand the mindset of a leader vs. an individual. I learned many of the basic skills, like giving feedback, coaching/mentoring, communication with different personality styles, etc. Now that I have a few years of experience, my coach is providing wisdom and resources around more complex issues like engagement/motivation, managing up, developing my leadership presence, and more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

Absolutely everything. I feel personally cared for and supported by my coach. She goes out of her way to reflect my strengths, and also lets me know what I can do to grow and improve in a way that is clear but compassionate. Her level of experience inspires deep trust between us and allows me to feel safe and open. I also appreciate how easy it is to integrate our sessions into my busy schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

Nothing. I only wish I could bring my coach with me into every meeting! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

BetterManager supported me in transitioning from individual contributor to manager, and then from new manager to strong and experienced manager. My coach increased my confidence, helped me learn innumerable skills, and provided me with lots of feedback in real-time. My team is incredibly happy and productive, and I am constantly reminded of ways in which BetterManager allowed me to set them up for success. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

As a brand new manager, BetterManager helped me develop and hone in on leadership and coaching skills that I will carry with me for life. The sessions broadened my perspective on the impact I could make as a manager and helped create a foundation for which I plan on continuing to develop. I highly recommend BetterManager, whether you are a new or seasoned leader. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

Personal 1:1 sessions to address questions/concerns, etc. Role plays were helpful! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Would have loved to have more resources sent over to read on my time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

Our company implemented an initiative for each leadership team member to receive one-on-one coaching through BetterManager in order to help each of us improve our leadership and management skills. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

BetterManager's coaching program was a hugely valuable experience, especially as someone who, coming into the program, had very little management training or experience. My coach was very attentive and helped me work through the areas I was struggling with. The reading resources provided are also incredibly helpful - short, concise, and with easy ways to put the techniques into practice! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

None really come to mind. One thing to keep in mind is that, at least from what I experienced, this is less of a structured program and is more open-ended and up to whatever the participant would like to talk about and explore. I personally liked that, but may not be for everyone and all situations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

As a small company, retention of good employees is always top of mind. Making sure our leadership and management teams are fostering a workplace that excites people about coming to work and even helps recruit talent is critical, and the skills learned with BetterManager helps bolster those initiatives.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

Better manager taught me to manage my time more effectively by prioritizing what I need to do. I also went through the exercise of listing my tasks and positioning them in an importance vs urgency matrix. Though simple, doing this exercise well brings lots of insights.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

Structured calls, helpful tools to diagnose what works and what doesn't. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be general for the highly advanced managers. This want the case with me though Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Describe the project or task NewLevelWork helped with:

We first started working with BetterManager to help our internally promoted VPs scale up and succeed in their new role. Our company isn't large enough to need a formal development program for VPs, so coaching with BetterManager gave us a way to offer targeting help with whatever the VP needed.

Since the initial launch, we have make BetterManager coaches available to many Directors and VPs, both to support transitions and to help them prepare for their next role. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about NewLevelWork?

The quality of coaches is on par with traditional coaching firms. It's easy to get started, and easy to get support when needed. And they just added a new dashboard feature so I can collect actionable insights about what the executive's common goals and development needs are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about NewLevelWork?

It doesn't go as "deep" as most traditional coaches, who often do interviews or more in-depth and varied assessments. (Though BetterManager has said that they can add those on, for a fee). The coaches aren't as intense, from what I've heard. In other words, they aren't getting to the root of issues with the coachees, and stay more on the surface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is NewLevelWork solving and how is that benefiting you?

Ensuring newly promoted execs succeed. Strengthening our leadership pipeline. Retaining people because we're investing in them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
